## Description

As a Senior Software Engineer, Streaming & Systems, you will use AI-native engineering practices to build performance-sensitive systems across game streaming, platform software, infrastructure, and emerging product areas. You'll work across low-level C/C++, Linux and Windows, real-time media, cloud-enabled capabilities, and systems problems that are still taking shape., * Explore, prototype, validate, and ship performance-sensitive systems that improve reliability, developer velocity, and user experience.

 * Build low-level and performance-sensitive software in C/C++, primarily in Linux environments.
 * Work across game streaming, platform software, infrastructure, developer tooling, and cloud-enabled capabilities.
 * Use AI-native workflows for code exploration, implementation, debugging, testing, documentation, automation, and rapid prototyping.
 * Investigate ways cloud-delivered experiences can become better than local experiences.
 * Turn ambiguous ideas into demos, experiments, measurements, and production-quality implementations.
 * Debug complex systems issues across performance, reliability, platform behavior, and production-like environments.
 * Collaborate with a focused engineering team and domain experts across streaming, platform, infrastructure, and cloud.
