Job Description
Senior C++ Engineer — SIMD-Optimized Image Processing
Make an impact on next-generation healthcare innovations. In a small, skilled multidisciplinary innovation team, you will design, implement, and optimize high-performance image processing algorithms in C++ using SIMD vectorization. Your work will directly shape the future of real-time clinical imaging and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
We know this combination of skills is uncommon, we're looking for the right person and are willing to invest in your growth.
Your role:
-
Implement and optimize complex image processing algorithms in C++, achieving minimal latency and peak throughput using AVX2 and AVX-512 SIMD intrinsics.
-
Profile, benchmark, and systematically eliminate performance bottlenecks in real-time imaging pipelines.
-
Collaborate closely with scientists and engineers to translate clinical and technical challenges into robust, high-performance solutions.
-
Maintain code quality through test coverage, code reviews, and software engineering best practices.
-
Being part of a small, high-impact innovation team where your work directly improves patient outcomes.
-
End-to-end ownership of real-time imaging algorithms, from concept to clinical application.
-
Collaborate shoulder-to-shoulder with scientists and clinicians who use what you build.
-
Room to grow into the rare intersection of performance engineering and healthcare technology.
You’re the right fit if:
-
BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
-
Strong modern C++ skills (C++17 or later).
-
Deep expertise in at least one of the following, with solid working knowledge of the other:
-
SIMD-optimized C++ development (AVX2/AVX-512 intrinsics, low-level memory management, profiling, and algorithmic optimization)
-
Image processing or computer vision algorithm development
-
Experience with multi-threaded programming (OpenMP, std::thread, or similar).
-
Experience with GPU performance programming (CUDA, OpenCL) is a strong plus.
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
