Details

NVIDIA's GeForce Now is a next-generation gaming service powered by Nvidia GPUs in the cloud, enabling high-performance gaming on PCs, Macs, and mobile devices with automatic game updates and high-definition, low-latency streaming. Beyond gaming, NVIDIA is expanding its low-latency streaming technology to applications in augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Responsibilities

  • Develop innovative networking and software algorithms for secure, ultra-low-latency cloud-based streaming technology.
  • Collaborate on signaling, ICE handshake, TURN/STUN server integration, and NAT traversal logic.
  • Implement, configure, and debug TLS/SSL security protocols.
  • Use DC-SCTP and related libraries to improve the performance and reliability of SCTP.
  • Analyze user and system-level metrics using sophisticated data analytics tools.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of proven experience in C++ software development, optimization, and debugging.
  • Hands-on experience with streaming protocols such as RTP, WebRTC, Web Sockets, and QUIC.
  • In-depth knowledge of WebRTC architecture, peer connection lifecycle, ICE handshake, and real-time protocols (SRTP, DTLS-SRTP, SCTP).
  • Familiarity with DC-SCTP internals, congestion control, stream management, and integration within WebRTC stacks.

Ways to stand out from the crowd

  • Practical experience with native WebRTC codebases (C++, Chromium, or libwebrtc) and media/data transport layers.
  • Proficiency in TLS/SSL protocols, digital certificates, and key exchange.
  • Practical knowledge of NAT traversal techniques, including ICE handshake, STUN, and TURN.
  • Hands-on experience with WebRTC data channels and the DC-SCTP implementation (SCTP over DTLS).
  • Proficient with Wireshark, tcpdump, and other transport layer traffic analysis and protocol debugging tools.

Benefits

Competitive salaries, equity eligibility, and a generous benefits package. NVIDIA fosters a diverse work environment and is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and non-discrimination.
