Details

NVIDIA's GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service powered by NVIDIA GPUs that enables high-performance game streaming to Macs, PCs, and mobile devices. The team is expanding low-latency streaming technology into augmented/virtual reality, AI, and robotics. This role is for a Senior Systems Software Engineer focused on streaming protocols to help build next-generation applications with media and data streaming capabilities.

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.
  • Utilize DC-SCTP and related libraries to enhance 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.

Preferred / Ways to Stand Out

  • 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 tools for analyzing transport layer traffic and debugging protocol issues.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary (ranges shown below by level), eligibility for equity, and a generous benefits package.
  • NVIDIA emphasizes diversity and is an equal opportunity employer.

Compensation & Additional Info

  • Base salary range for Level 4: 184000 USD - 287500 USD.
  • Base salary range for Level 5: 224000 USD - 356500 USD.
  • You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
  • Location: Santa Clara, CA, United States.
