Senior Neural Rendering Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end development and optimization of neural rendering systems, including 3D Gaussian-based representations and other learned scene representations.
• Design and scale GPU pipelines using CUDA for neural scene training, inference, and real-time rasterization.
• Architect and optimize multi-threaded C++ systems for scene management, streaming, and CPU-side orchestration of rendering workloads.
• Research, prototype, and productionize state-of-the-art neural rendering and reconstruction techniques.
• Integrate neural rendering outputs with existing simulation infrastructure and physically-based rendering (PBR) components.
• Build internal tooling and automated benchmarking and profiling infrastructure for neural pipelines.

Requirements

• 4+ years of industry or research experience in neural rendering, neural 3D simulation, or closely related fields.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with neural scene simulation such as 3D Gaussian splatting, NeRFs, or similar learned representations.
• Strong GPU programming skills, including CUDA and/or shader development.
• Extensive experience optimizing multi-threaded C++ applications, including task systems and memory ownership.
• Strong intuition for performance debugging, profiling, and system-level optimization across CPU and GPU.

Preferred Qualifications

• Publications or significant project contributions in neural rendering or 3D reconstruction.
• Experience productionizing research-grade neural graphics systems into real-time engines.
• Familiarity with differentiable rendering or differentiable simulation frameworks.
• Experience designing or optimizing real-time ray tracing systems.
• Familiarity with autonomy-related sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and equity.
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
• 401k retirement benefits with employer match.
• Learning and wellness stipends.
• Paid time off.
