Senior C++ Systems Engineer

Summary

Join NBCUniversal as a Software Engineer and build cutting-edge software using C++ for machine learning, computer vision, and 3D modeling applications. You will leverage mathematical concepts to analyze images and create realistic 3D models from real-world data, collaborating with a team and utilizing Git for code management. The role involves working with large-scale geospatial data on a cloud platform and deploying code to generate 3D content for users. You will apply cutting-edge research and work closely with leadership to understand product vision and customer requirements. This position offers a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• 3+ years of relevant industry experience in a fast paced, high growth tech environment
• Team-oriented and collaborative approach with a demonstrated aptitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn new methods, tools, practices and skills
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders
• Experience in designing and building high-performance, efficient systems using C++, with a strong focus on optimizing code for speed, scalability, and resource management

Responsibilities

• Implement, in C++, core machine-learning/computer vision and (inverse-) procedural modeling algorithms, with varying levels of oversight. These algorithms rely on mathematical techniques from linear algebra, probability, and geometry
• Apply cutting-edge research in machine learning, computer vision, and computer graphics
• Work closely with leadership to understand high-level product vision and customer requirements
• Utilize Git for effective source code management
• Deploy and test your code on large scale geospatial datasets (and ultimately generate 3D content that will be available to users) This requires you to interact with remote machines via a Unix shell

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with modern C++ will allow you to better interface with other portions of our data ingestion and product pipeline
• A mathematical background covering some subset of linear algebra, probability, and geometry will also be helpful
• Experience with Git is preferred, but a background with Mercurial or other DVCs is an acceptable substitute
• Our development and production environments are Linux and macOS based. Confidence in a Unix shell environment (e.g. bash) is essential for working in our setup
• Problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Experience in game technology, with expertise in areas such as Unreal Engine, C++, computational geometry, and computer graphics, driving the development of cutting-edge, high-performance gaming systems
• We use CMake for project management. However, for something other than vim/make or Xcode, we need a convincing demonstration that you will be able to self-support in the environment of your preference

Benefits

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid leave
• Tuition reimbursement
• A variety of other discounts and perks
