Job summary

United States Digital Space LLC is seeking a Senior Linux Graphics Engineer to lead Linux and Vulkan migration of our real-time renderer. The role involves shipping a production-ready Linux path on Nvidia GPUs, reducing back-end gaps, and building robust test harnesses.

You will work with rendering engineers on wide-angle rendering, reconstruction techniques, and GPU performance, while collaborating with ML teams to advance the platform.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in real-time graphics or engine programming with at least one shipped product.
• Production Vulkan experience with memory management, synchronization, and validation.
• Production Linux graphics experience: drivers, Mesa/vendor stacks, toolchains, containers, debugging.
• Strong modern C++ in large codebases, with a capable CI/build system.
• Proven ability to profile and optimize GPU/CPU bottlenecks with tooling.
• Ability to scope, plan, and drive hard problems with minimal supervision.
• Effective communication to non-graphics engineers and reliable scheduling feedback.

Responsibilities

• Own the Linux and Vulkan migration of the renderer to production quality on Linux with Nvidia GPUs.
• Close the gap between DirectX and Vulkan paths, addressing memory, shader caching, driver behavior, and artifacts.
• Build verification via regression tests and output equivalence across platforms.
• Profile and optimize on Linux; establish GPU/CPU workflows and best practices.
• Contribute to the rendering roadmap, including wide-angle, multi-view, and Gaussian splatting techniques.
• Collaborate across stack with build, infra, and cloud GPU deployment teams.
