  • Master's degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of proven experience in C++ software development, optimization, testing, and debugging skills.
  • Deep knowledge of operating systems, multi-threading, socket programming, and performance-critical programming in Windows and Linux.
  • Good understanding of low-latency transport protocols such as WebRTC and QUIC.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a self-motivated approach.

Responsibilities

  • 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 to optimize GPU and CPU utilization.
  • Define and implement KPIs for streaming quality and user experience.
  • Collaborate with video encoding, cloud networking, and systems teams to deliver a low-latency, high-fidelity streaming experience.

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
