You will be the software-craftsmanship anchor of a small Software team inside A&A. You will craft and implement the core components developed using C++ alongside Python. These components support our research and product paths. You will raise the engineering bar across the group. You will also guide research code through to the shipping NVENC/NVDEC SDK.\nThis is a hybrid role - 4 days per week from the office.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nWork closely with our Architects and Algorithms Engineers to understand the needs and build, implement and/or optimize the most elegant solutions - in modern C++ and Python\nSet the bar for what “good software” means inside A&A: reviewing code, mentoring engineers from non-software backgrounds, and bringing the rest of the group up with you\nImplement detailed, focused “tweaks” into the SDK and the wider video stack. These changes let researchers test new ideas without forking the world. Walk research code through to a shipping NVENC/NVDEC release when needed.\nProfile and optimize critical paths in the codec stack; reach for CUDA when CPU-side optimization is not enough\nBuild and sharpen the small libraries, frameworks and tools the team uses every day, and make sure they are a joy to work with\nWhat We Need To See\nB.Sc. in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering\n8+ years of relevant proven experience (or 5+ years and a relevant M.Sc.)\nProficiency in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) - templates, RAII, concurrency, move semantics, the standard library, the works\nProficiency in Python - idiomatic, performant, well-tested, with a strong sense of what is appropriate for C++ and what suits Python\nStrong software design instincts and a real care for code quality: APIs, modularity, testability, clean abstractions, performance, the long tail of maintainability\nExperience working on Linux as a development platform - CMake, Git, debuggers, profilers, sanitizers\nExperience with optimizing Algorithmic code with different methods such as Multi-Threading/Multi-Processing, SIMD, C++, C, etc\nWays To Stand Out From The Crowd\nFamiliarity with video compression / codecs (NVENC, NVDEC, FFmpeg, GStreamer, x264/x265, AV1, VVC)\nCUDA or GPU programming experience\nExperience embedding Python in C++ (pybind11, nanobind) or building Python extensions\nExtensive ‘mileage’ with C++/Python Algorithmic Frameworks such as OpenCV, Numpy, SciPy, CuPy, matplotlib, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.\nNVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
