The Design at Meta community is pioneering technologies to bring people closer together, and our teams share in the responsibility of doing it at global scale. Our teams design and build Meta technologies-Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Workplace and Meta Quest-for billions of people around the world. At Reality Labs, we are focused on defining experiences in Augmented and Virtual Reality, finding new ways for people to connect and build communities and help people feel more present with each other even when we're apart. Meta's work in augmented and virtual reality spans a number of breakthrough technologies and touches industries ranging from entertainment and gaming to education and beyond. The Product Design Prototyping team at Metaverse organization is looking for an experienced, hands-on product design leader with people management skills and strong technical expertise. The ideal candidate is an experienced product design leader who flourishes working in an ambiguous technology space at the front end of VR & MR products and tools. This position will afford you the opportunity to explore multiple facets of supporting VR & MR prototypes, interfaces, inputs and tools.You will become part of a well established prototyping team and mentor prototypers across our overall team, including work for multiple devices and technologies in MR & VR, with a heavy focus on end user experience and internal prototyping tools. As a manager, you will be expected to lead product design prototypers with different specializations from 3D software development, prototyping, game design, to interaction design, and guide them so that they are able to do the best work of their careers. You will be expected to use your full range of product development experience and design skills to raise the quality of the outcome of your team.
