Meta Quest Store Readiness

  • Ensure the application complies with Meta Quest Store technical and policy requirements
  • Configure build pipelines for store-ready APKs
  • Optimize performance, memory usage, and startup times for store submission
  • Support store submission, review feedback, and release readiness

Educational Requirements:

  • B.Sc in Computer Science and Engineering from any reputed public or private university.

Skill Requirements:

  • Strong proficiency in Unreal Engine (UE5)
  • Hands-on experience with VR development for Meta Quest or similar standalone headsets

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
