Senior Systems Engineer (C++/Python)

Description

Write C++ for the software behind machine learning, computer vision and 3D modeling. It uses mathematics to analyze images and build realistic 3D models from real-world data.

Stay current with new findings in artificial intelligence, computer vision and computer graphics.

Version your code with Git. Run and test it on a cloud platform against large geospatial data such as maps and geographic information, producing 3D content for end users later on.

The company is a large media and entertainment group with film, television, streaming, news and theme park businesses. It is part of a larger parent company.

Responsibilities

• Build core machine learning, computer vision and (inverse-) procedural modeling algorithms in C++, with varying amounts of supervision.
• Rely on linear algebra, probability and geometry in these algorithms.
• Put the newest findings from AI and graphics research into practice.
• Collaborate with leadership on the company's direction and what customers need from the product.
• Manage source code with Git.
• Ship and check your work against big geospatial data sets, which later become 3D content for users. You will connect to remote machines through a Unix shell.

Requirements

• Hold a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or a closely related field.
• Have 3+ years of relevant industry experience in a fast-moving, high-growth tech environment.
• Be collaborative and show you pick up new methods, tools, practices and skills readily.
• Explain complex technical ideas in clear language to non-technical stakeholders.
• Have built high-performance, efficient C++ systems, optimizing for speed, scalability and resource management.
• Be confident in a Unix shell such as bash, which is essential here since development and production run on Linux and macOS.
• Desired: knowledge of modern C++ helps you work with the rest of the data ingestion and product pipeline.
• Desired: a math background in some mix of linear algebra, probability and geometry.
• Desired: Git experience is preferred, though Mercurial or other DVCs are an acceptable substitute.
• Desired: problem-solving skills, attention to detail and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Desired: experience in game technology, such as Unreal Engine, C++, computational geometry and computer graphics, driving the development of high-performance gaming systems.
• Desired: the team uses CMake. If you prefer something other than vim/make or Xcode, you must give a convincing demonstration that you can support yourself in that environment.
