Job Summary
About Applied Intuition
We are an in-office company and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.
About the role
We are seeking a senior-level engineer with strong foundations in modern real-time rendering systems neural graphics (e.g. 3D Gaussian-based representations) and high-performance multi-threaded C/CUDA pipelines. This role sits at the intersection of classical graphics engines and neural rendering systems with a focus on scaling performance across CPU and GPU for large real-time simulation workloads. At Applied Intuition engineers are expected to take ownership of technically complex systems make architecture-level decisions work closely with internal and external users and help evolve both the product and the engineering culture.
At Applied Intuition you will:
- Own end-to-end development and optimization of neural rendering systems including 3D Gaussian-based representations and other learned scene representations across multiple products and sensor modalities
- Design and scale GPU pipelines using CUDA for neural scene training inference and real-time rasterization including data layout memory movement synchronization and kernel performance
- Architect and optimize multi-threaded C systems for scene management streaming scheduling and CPU-side orchestration of neural and hybrid rendering workloads
- Research prototype and productionize state-of-the-art neural rendering and reconstruction techniques keeping the engine at the frontier of the field
- Integrate neural rendering outputs with existing simulation and rendering infrastructure including lightweight physically-based rendering (PBR) components where classical techniques complement neural approaches
- Build internal tooling and automated benchmarking and profiling infrastructure including CI-based performance regression tracking for neural pipelines
Were looking for someone who has:
- 4 years of industry or research experience in neural rendering neural 3D simulation or closely related fields (graphics vision or performance-critical GPU systems)
- A minimum of a Bachelors degree in computer science computer engineering or equivalent
- Hands-on experience with neural scene simulation such as 3D Gaussian splatting NeRFs neural radiance fields or similar learned volumetric/surface representations
- Strong GPU programming skills including CUDA and/or shader development with an understanding of CPUGPU coordination for training and inference workloads
- Strong experience optimizing multi-threaded C applications including task systems synchronization memory ownership and cache behavior
- Strong intuition for performance debugging profiling and system-level optimization across CPU and GPU
Nice to have:
- Publications or significant project contributions in neural rendering novel view synthesis or 3D reconstruction
- Experience productionizing research-grade neural graphics systems into real-time engines
- Familiarity with differentiable rendering or differentiable simulation frameworks
- Experience designing or optimizing real-time ray tracing systems
- Familiarity with autonomy-related sensors (cameras LiDAR radar ultrasonic) and their simulation or rendering requirements
Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary equity and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units comprehensive health dental vision life and disability insurance coverage 401k retirement benefits with employer match learning and wellness stipends and paid time off.
