THE ROLE.
This role is an exciting opportunity for a developer of significant experience to help drive multiple projects aimed at helping our products get the maximum performance out of the available hardware. Initially focusing on Nuke® and NukeX®, you will work closely with the products’ engineering teams to help us identify, troubleshoot and streamline our current image processing engine’s performance characteristics on both CPU and GPU.
Having extensive experience in optimising computationally complex and memory-intensive tasks, you’ll be able to work both at high and low levels - proposing radical new approaches to the architecture where appropriate, while being able to recognise and fix bottlenecks at a micro-level. Your expertise in CPU and GPU architectures, coupled with your in-depth knowledge of interpreting the output from profilers such as VTune, Nsight and uProf will help us future-proof our products for the next generation of hardware.
You'll also help contribute to cross-company decision making in this area, as well as being an evangelist across all of our product teams. As part of the evangelist elements of the role, you'll be responsible for spreading know-how across all these teams and be sought out as an expert in your area when the opportunity arises. You'll help us review proposals for architecture changes across the business, maintaining a hands-on element of your role, keeping up to date with the latest and greatest.
Working across the Nuke family, you'll be part of the senior team pushing for adoption of best practise and modern technologies as well as acting as a goto person for unsticking teams when they are stuck. Using your expert-level knowledge, you'll be responsible for knowledge-share, documentation, and development in the performance arena, as well as working on codebases within our products to keep your skills up to date and keeping an eye on our tech debt levels and opportunities for code reuse. You'll talk with customers and technology partners to build relationships, make technical recommendations, and help us strategise our technology plans across the business. This will then feed into your contribution to complex, long term, architectural decision making. To help you in this aim, you'll recognise and nurture architectural capability within our teams, helping us to build - and recruit - the next generation of architectural leaders.
