We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer with deep expertise in computer graphics to lead the design and delivery of large-scale production systems. This is a high-impact technical leadership role for someone who thrives on leading from the front. You will not just set the strategy; you will be a primary individual contributor writing critical-path code and driving implementation for our most complex geometry-driven systems.

You Will :

  • Architect & Execute : Design and ship complex computer graphics systems owning the technical roadmap and end-to-end delivery of large cross-functional initiatives.
  • Lead through Code : Act as a hands-on technical leader dedicating a significant portion of your time to contributing high-quality code to core systems.
  • Drive Technical Strategy : Influence architectural decisions across multiple teams by proving out concepts through direct implementation and rigorous design reviews.
  • Collaborate & Translate : Partner with Product Design and Research to transform ambiguous requirements into performant scalable and maintainable technical solutions.
  • Raise the Bar : Ensure all systems meet elite standards for reliability and performance identifying technical risks early and leading the implementation of mitigations.
  • Mentor : Foster a culture of engineering excellence by leveling up senior engineers through hands-on code reviews and technical guidance.

You Have :

  • Extensive Industry Experience : 10 years of experience building and shipping complex production-grade software systems.
  • Domain Expertise : A proven track record of implementing computer graphics or visual computing systems at scale.
  • Technical Rigor : Mastery of software engineering fundamentals including system design software architecture and performance optimization.
  • Proven Leadership : A history of leading by example through direct hands-on contribution rather than purely through management.
  • Agility : Experience operating effectively in ambiguous fast-moving environments where requirements evolve rapidly.
  • You Are :

  • Mathematically Minded : Deeply comfortable with the foundations of geometry linear algebra and related mathematical domains.
  • Technically Versatile : Experienced with modern graphics APIs or frameworks and building performance-critical or platform-level infrastructure.
  • A Multiplier : A leader who takes pride in elevating the entire engineering organization through direct technical engagement and mentorship.
  • Results-Oriented : Driven by the challenge of shipping robust production-ready code that solves real-world visual computing problems.
  • Required Experience :
