Client's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build connections in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started.
Reality Labs (RL) focuses on connecting people through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of these products require custom silicon. The Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with breakthroughs in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, to firmware, and algorithms.
We are seeking a Software Engineer with experience in compiler development (such as LLVM or higher-level IR) and code optimization for ISAs like x86, ARM, or RISC-V.
Responsibilities:
Develop optimized software in an embedded environment for vector machines.
Build an optimization flow or compiler automation for a SIMD or vector processor.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent relevant experience.
5+ years of experience designing and implementing complex real-time systems using C/C++ for embedded processors.
5+ years of experience in software development for imaging and CV algorithms or related signal processing fields.
Solid C/C++ programming and refactoring skills, and able to understand and debug heavily threaded code.
Preferred Qualifications:
MS or PhD in EE/CS.
Theoretical knowledge in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and image processing, or ISP sensors.

Experience in development of imaging and CV or related signal processing algorithms (e.g. OpenCV, Eigen, Halide, Game physics and 3D graphics, CODECs, or Communication)Prior experience with ARM or RISC-V CPUs, or Tensilica DSP architectures
● Story Behind the Need
This is a backfill for CW that we had, and they left and joined another company in fulltime role.
● Is there anything we can share with Candidates to compel them to choose client over competitors?:
It is an exciting role, doing applied research and development in the cross section of LLM, Compiler and modern C/C++ programming.
● Typical Day in the Role & How will performance be measured:
For our CW roles, usually we assign long-term projects, which needs to be completed in the span of weeks or sometimes months, so it will be a mixture of research, design, problem solving, coding and debugging. Success is measured by successfully landing the impact and delivering on the tasks.
● Interview Process:
We will do three sequential interviews, general coding and problem solving, modern C++ coding and compiler, System design and AI.
● Onsite: Onsite
Coding Requirement: coding will be C/C++ and focusing on in-domain expertise, mostly computer vison, audio signal processing and AI/ML related topics
