NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

1d•$184,000 - $356,500

About The Position

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer focused on WebRTC streaming to help develop the next generation of applications with media and data streaming capabilities. The role involves building ultra-low-latency streaming systems and advancing streaming technology for applications including gaming, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The engineer will work with a skilled team on streaming protocols, networking quality, and user experience, including integration with platform services, connectivity layers, and potentially automotive system components.

Requirements

Deep working knowledge of WebRTC architecture and internals.
Hands-on experience across the transport, security, and media path, including ICE, STUN/TURN, DTLS-SRTP, SCTP data channels, and RTP/RTCP feedback loops for pacing and bandwidth estimation.
At least 8 years of experience developing, optimizing, and debugging C++ software, along with a master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
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.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a self-motivated approach.

Nice To Haves

Contributions to open-source real-time media projects such as libwebrtc, Pion, GStreamer, libvpx/libaom, or to IETF/W3C standards work.
Experience with video codecs and formats such as H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, AV1, color spaces, or hardware-accelerated encode/decode.
Background with QNX, QNX Safety, Linux, or embedded operating systems for safety-critical platforms.
Experience with automotive software, telematics, connected vehicle platforms, or car connectivity.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, optimize, and debug C++ software for ultra-low-latency streaming systems.
Implement WebRTC and related real-time protocols and congestion-control algorithms from specifications.
Identify gaps in existing standards and develop solutions through protocol design, reference implementations, and contributions to IETF Internet-Drafts and RFCs.
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.
