We are looking for a Systems Software engineer to join a team of highly skilled and motivated engineers who bring GeForce Now to the leanest of consumer devices. Our goal is to develop highly optimized software and algorithms for cloud-based streaming to achieve ultra-low latencies and smooth streaming. Now, are you passionate about driving streaming technology to its edge, optimizing high-density server performance, improving streaming protocols and networking, redefining telemetry data into business-driving insights, and collaborating multi-functionally with engineering, product, and business teams. Do you have experience in measuring a system’s performance and KPIs? Then, we are keen to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing:

+ Design, develop and test high-performance modern C++ software for cloud gaming

+ Apply data-driven insights for architectural decisions that impact scalability, efficiency, security and streaming quality

+ Define metrics and KPIs to measure streaming quality and performance at runtime

+ Collaborate with video encoding, networking, and systems teams to deliver low-latency, high-fidelity game streaming

+ Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and architecture planning.

What we need to see:

+ Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, or related field

+ 4+ years of experience

+ Passion for games and a deep understanding of what makes interactive experiences performant and responsive.

+ Proficiency in modern C++ and strong software development, optimization, and debugging skills.

+ Deep knowledge of multi-threading, low-latency systems, and performance-critical programming in Windows and Linux.

+ Good understanding of multimedia streaming protocols such as RTP/SRTP, WebRTC.

+ Strong communication skills and ability to work across multiple teams and subject areas.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

+ Fluent in L2, L3 networking stack as well as IP routing, multicast, QoS, and transport layer protocols

+ Analyze and optimize software performance, including CPU, memory, and I/O usage at both user and kernel levels.

+ Hands-on experience on GPU computing (CUDA, OpenCL, or similar frameworks) for hardware acceleration and computational efficiency.

+ Knowledge of telemetry, observability, or monitoring frameworks (e.g., Kibana, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

+ Knowledge in computer networking and 802.11 WiFi networks.
