Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.

The 3D Sensing team is responsible for bringing state-of-the-art depth sensors to Facebook’s AR and VR products. This is achieved through the development of both innovative hardware and software solutions. This role is focused on delivering optimized software implementations of computer vision algorithms for these sensors. In particular, the algorithms will be focused around 3D depth generation and processing. The applicant’s focus will be on the efficient implementation of these algorithms, rather than the algorithm development itself. Experience in writing optimized C++, especially around real-time data processing, and CUDA GPU code is required. The applicant would be a valuable contributor to enabling immersive experiences on the next generation of AR and VR technologies.

Responsibilities

• Conversion of reference code to efficient C++ implementations
• Profiling of algorithm performance on desktop and mobile devices
• Development of GPU based implementations of critical algorithmic blocks
• Support creation of real-time data processing pipelines
• Interface with a multidisciplinary team to deliver critical technology solutions
• Work efficiently within SW team, including delivering regular code reviews to fellow team members
  

Minimum Qualification

• 2+ years of experience in optimized modern C++.
• 2+ years of experience developing in CUDA.
• Experience converting algorithms into optimized C++ or CUDA.
• Experience working with formal code review process.
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
  

Preferred Qualification

• Bachelor's, Master's or PHD degree in Computer Science or related quantitative field.
• 2+ years CUDA experience.
