Visit us at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now In addition to gaming, we are expanding our state-of-the-art low-latency streaming technology to a new range of applications, including augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

We are looking for a Senior Systems Software Engineer focusing on streaming protocols to join a team of highly skilled and motivated engineers who help build the next generation of applications with media and data streaming capabilities. Now, are you passionate about driving this technology to its edge? Do you understand various streaming protocols? Can you craft and implement solutions for complicated networking topologies? Then, we are keen to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing:

• 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 DCSCTP and related libraries to enhance the performance and reliability of SCTP.

• Analyze user and system-level metrics using sophisticated data analytics tools

What we need to see:

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