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.
