Senior Systems Engineer (C++/Python)

NBCUniversal•New York, NY

3h•$175,000 - $215,000•Remote

About The Position

In this role, you’ll use C++ to build important software that powers machine learning, computer vision, and 3D modeling applications. This software will rely on mathematical concepts to analyze images and create realistic 3D models based on real-world data. You’ll get to work with the latest research in fields like artificial intelligence, computer vision, and computer graphics. To keep track of your code and changes, you’ll use Git. You’ll also test and run your code on a cloud platform, working with large-scale geospatial data (like maps and geographic information) to create 3D content that users will eventually use.

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.
Confidence in a Unix shell environment (e.g. bash) is essential for working in our setup.

Nice To Haves

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.
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.

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.
