Senior Software Lead (Host-Side Platform & Integrations – Haptics)


Overview

TITAN Haptics is hiring a senior software leader to own our host-side software platform—the SDKs/APIs, cross-platform libraries, integrations, and tooling that make TITAN haptics easy to adopt across PC, mobile, and game engines. This role is primarily host software + developer experience, not firmware. You should be firmware-literate enough to collaborate across the device boundary, but your core output is the software product layer that partners use to integrate, ship, and support haptics at scale.

About TITAN Haptics

TITAN Haptics builds wideband haptic motors and the software stack that turns them into expressive, high-fidelity touch feedback. We provide reference designs, developer tools, and integration pathways so teams can ship haptics with confidence across gaming, AR/VR, mobile, and interactive media.

Role Type

  • Full-time

Responsibilities

Host-Side SDKs, APIs, and Architecture (Primary)

  • Own the architecture and implementation of TITAN’s host SDKs and public APIs, including versioning, packaging, and compatibility strategy.
  • Build and maintain cross-platform libraries (Windows/macOS/Linux; optionally mobile) that expose consistent haptics capabilities.
  • Define clean interfaces between apps/engines ↔ SDK ↔ transport (USB/Bluetooth) ↔ device firmware, ensuring predictable behavior and debuggability.
  • Implement core platform functions: device discovery, capability negotiation, configuration, command/stream transport, telemetry, logging, and diagnostics.

Integrations & Developer Enablement

  • Lead integrations for partner workflows, including Unity and/or Unreal plug-ins, sample projects, and reference apps.
  • Define the “happy path” for adoption: quick start, best practices, and integration patterns that reduce partner friction and time-to-first-demo.

Standards, Protocols, and Interoperability

  • Drive TITAN’s approach to haptics protocols/standards (internal and industry-facing): message formats, descriptors, primitives, extensibility, and compliance testing.
  • Translate standards work into practical SDK implementations and partner-facing guidance.

DSP / Effect Pipeline (Depending on Candidate Strength)

  • Contribute to or lead host-side DSP / effect pipelines where applicable (audio-to-haptics, mixing, parameterization, streaming/latency strategies), and collaborate on perceptual tuning targets.

Technical Leadership

  • Serve as the technical owner for host-side roadmaps, architecture decisions, code quality, and release discipline (CI/CD, tests, versioned artifacts).
  • Mentor developers/contractors through code reviews, design reviews, and pragmatic systems thinking.

Documentation & Developer Experience

  • Produce clear SDK guides, API references, integration notes, and examples that external teams can follow without hand-holding.

Key Qualifications

  • 6+ years building software systems, with ownership of developer-facing SDKs/APIs and multi-component architectures.
  • Strong experience in at least one of:
    • Cross-platform native development (C/C++/Rust or equivalent)
    • Systems / platform engineering (performance, reliability, transport layers)
    • Engine/tooling integrations (Unity/Unreal or similar ecosystems)
  • Proven ability to design stable public interfaces (semantic versioning, backward compatibility, packaging/distribution).
  • Comfort debugging across USB/Bluetooth, permissions/sandbox constraints, latency/jitter, and multi-OS behavior.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication (docs and partner enablement).

Nice to Haves

  • DSP/audio pipelines or real-time processing experience.
  • Driver / low-level service experience (Windows/macOS/Linux).
  • Web tooling (TypeScript/Node/React) for developer portals (supporting skill).
  • Mobile app development experience.
  • Standards/protocols experience; consumer electronics / gaming / XR background.
  • Additional languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean).

Location

Mississauga or available remotely within North America.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience and fit
  • Flexible hours and vacation
