About The Position

The Opportunity Are you looking to shape how users interact with digital twins and immersive applications—including AR, VR, XR, and simulation environments? We’re seeking a UX Strategist to define how users understand, navigate, and engage with complex 3D experiences built in Unity. You’ll work at the intersection of UX research, interaction design, and data visualization, creating workflows and interaction models that extend beyond traditional 2D interfaces into spatial and immersive environments. In this role, you’ll collaborate with UX practitioners, developers, solutions architects, and product managers to translate user research into actionable insights. You’ll contribute across the full design process, from research and information architecture to prototyping, usability testing, and implementation—advocating for design improvements that keep the user at the center. We hire for complementary strengths, some candidates will focus more on research and strategy, others on interaction and visual design. Success requires cross‑disciplinary collaboration and ownership of end‑to‑end experiences. Join us. The world can’t wait.
