  • Work with other worldwide internal teams, including software, hardware, architecture, and OEM support.

What we need to see:
  • A Bachelor's or higher degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or computer engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 3+ years "hands on" experience developing graphics system level software, especially for the Linux OS.
  • 3+ years of programming experience in C and C++.
  • Very good oral and written communication skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Prior experience with Linux gaming development.
  • Low-level Linux operating system knowledge, specifically memory/resource management, scheduling, and process control.
  • A self-motivated teammate with good attitude.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 116,000 USD - 189,750 USD.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until September 6, 2026.
