Staff Engineer, Software Perception (R3554)

Job Description:

Shield AI is seeking a deeply skilled C++ software engineer to serve as the technical conscience of software quality, architecture, and deployment practices within our cross-functional perception team. This role focuses on building and deploying high-performance video processing pipelines—optimized for both CPU-only and GPU-accelerated environments—as well as designing and maintaining a robust and scalable C++ SDK ecosystem. 

We are not looking for Python-centric ML/DL practitioners. This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes modern C++, understands the rigor of flight-critical software, and has a passion for developer experience, automation, and software quality at scale.
