## About the Role

* Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
 * 3+ years of relevant industry experience in a fast paced, high growth tech environment.
 * Team-oriented and collaborative approach with a demonstrated aptitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn new methods, tools, practices and skills
 * Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language for non-technical stakeholders.
 * Experience in designing and building high-performance, efficient systems using C++, with a strong focus on optimizing code for speed, scalability, and resource management., * Familiarity with modern C++ will allow you to better interface with other portions of our data ingestion and product pipeline.
 * A mathematical background covering some subset of linear algebra, probability, and geometry will also be helpful.
 * Experience with Git is preferred, but a background with Mercurial or other DVCs is an acceptable substitute.
 * Our development and production environments are Linux and macOS based. Confidence in a Unix shell environment (e.g. bash) is essential for working in our setup.
 * Problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
 * Experience in game technology, with expertise in areas such as Unreal Engine, C++, computational geometry, and computer graphics, driving the development of cutting-edge, high-performance gaming systems.
 * We use CMake for project management. However, for something other than vim/make or Xcode, we need a convincing demonstration that you will be able to self-support in the environment of your preference., If you are a qualified individual with a disability or a disabled veteran, you have the right to request a reasonable accommodation if you are unable or limited in your ability to use or access nbcunicareers.com as a result of your disability. You can request reasonable accommodations by emailing AccessibilitySupport@nbcuni.com.

## Description

* You will implement, in C++, core machine-learning/computer vision and (inverse-) procedural modeling algorithms, with varying levels of oversight. These algorithms rely on mathematical techniques from linear algebra, probability, and geometry.
 * Apply cutting-edge research in machine learning, computer vision, and computer graphics.
 * Work closely with leadership to understand high-level product vision and customer requirements.
 * Utilize Git for effective source code management.
 * Deploy and test your code on large scale geospatial datasets (and ultimately generate 3D content that will be available to users) This requires you to interact with remote machines via a Unix shell.
