  • Drive complex platform initiatives end to end - taking technical ownership and overseeing their progress until completion across multiple releases

  • Build and deepen a shared technology stack - common shaders,renderingframeworks, and multi-API GPU abstractions (CUDA, OpenCL, DirectX, Metal) - so teams build once and run everywhere, on Windows and Mac

  • Own rendering performance, stability, and device compatibility across platforms and hardware vendors, including the hardest GPU and driver issues

  • Partner with GPU hardware vendors and with internal graphics, product, and QE teams to resolve deep technical issues and shape the underlying technologies

  • Lead by example - drive architecture and code reviews, set engineering standards, and mentor others

  • Build and prototype the next generation of our rendering technology, in partnership with technical leadership, including modern shading languages and shader toolchains

What You Need to Succeed

  • Bachelor's degree or aMaster's degree in Computer Scienceor equivalent experience

  • 10+ years' experience in software engineering, with significant depth in GPU, graphics, or rendering systems

  • Strongproficiencyin modern C++ in a large, complex, cross-platform codebase on Mac or Windows

  • Deep experience with at least one modern graphics/compute API (DirectX 12, Metal, Vulkan, CUDA, or OpenCL) and the ability to design abstractions across several

  • Strong knowledge of GPU architecture, shading languages (e.g., HLSL, Slang, SPIR-V), and rendering or real-time video processing

  • Solid understanding of the GPUrenderingpipeline and core rendering, compositing, and color algorithms

  • Proven low-level debugging and performance optimization across the CPU/GPU boundary, using GPU profiling and debugging tools (e.g., Nsight, PIX)

  • Track recordof leading and driving complex, cross-team technical initiatives to completion with limited guidance

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, working in a global environment

  • Ability to think creatively to solve complex problems

Preferred Qualifications

  • Real-time video processing in Non-Linear Editing (NLE) software

  • Modern shading languages and shader compilers/toolchains (Slang, DXC, SPIR-V / DXIL) and next-generationrenderingabstractions

  • Direct experience working with GPU driver / hardware vendors

  • ML inference integration (e.g.,TensorRT, ONNX Runtime) within a render pipeline

  • Experience building GPU benchmarking / performance frameworks

  • Web & mobile graphics experience (a plus - notrequired)
