Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in streaming technologies to join their team. The role focuses on developing and optimizing C++ software for ultra low-latency streaming systems. Candidates should have a strong background in streaming protocols and a passion for innovative solutions. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge applications in media and data streaming.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of proven experience in C++ software development, optimization, and debugging.
  • Strong understanding of operating systems, multithreading, memory management, networking, and systems programming.
  • Ability to debug complex issues across software, OS, media pipelines, platform, and hardware boundaries.
  • In-depth knowledge of WebRTC architecture, peer connection lifecycle, ICE handshake, and real-time protocols.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, optimize, and debug C++ software for ultra low-latency streaming systems.
  • Build and improve media streaming pipelines using technologies such as WebRTC, GStreamer, RTP/RTCP, and related protocols.
  • Analyze CPU, memory, networking, media pipeline, and scheduling behavior across real-world workloads.
  • Work across Windows, Linux, QNX, applications frameworks, and embedded platforms.
  • Define and implement KPIs for networking quality, streaming quality, and user experience.
  • Integrate streaming software with platform services, connectivity layers, and/or automotive system components.

Benefits

  • 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.
