We're looking for a Senior Systems Software Engineer with strong C++ experience and familiarity with streaming technologies. You will help to improve the quality of experiences for GeForce Now and the next generation of use cases including automotive, robotics and physical AI. Our goal is to develop highly optimized software and algorithms, build high-performance, low-latency systems that deliver a flawless streaming experience to any applications around the world.
What you'll be doing:
  • Design, develop and test high-performance C++ software for ultra low-latency streaming
  • Build and improve media streaming pipelines using technologies such as WebRTC, GStreamer, RTP/RTCP, and related protocols.
  • Analyze performance metrics across server, network and media pipeline and optimize GPU and CPU utilization to reduce latency.
  • Define and implement KPIs for streaming quality, and user experience.
  • Collaborate with video encoding, cloud networking, and systems teams to deliver low-latency, high-fidelity streaming experience

What we need to see:
  • Master degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of proven experience in C++ software development, optimization, test and debugging skills.
  • Deep knowledge of operating systems, multi-threading, socket programming, and performance-critical programming in Windows and Linux.
  • Good understanding of some of low-latency transport protocols (e.g., WebRTC, QUIC)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a self-motivated approach.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • In-depth knowledge of WebRTC architecture, peer connection lifecycle, ICE handshake, and real-time protocols (SRTP, DTLS-SRTP, SCTP).
  • Knowledge of video codecs including H.264, H.265, AV1, color spaces, or hardware-accelerated encode/decode.
  • Experience with automotive software, telematics, connected vehicle platforms, infotainment, or car connectivity.
  • Experience with QNX, QNX Safety, Linux, or embedded operating systems for safety-critical platforms is a strong plus.
  • Proficiency in using analytics and visualization tools for data-driven software development

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology industry's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and versatile people in the world working with us, and our engineering teams are growing fast in some of the most impactful fields of our generation: Quality of Service (QoS).
