Senior C++ Engineer — SIMD-Optimized Image Processing

Job Description

Make an impact as Senior Performance Engineer C++ on next-generation healthcare innovations. In a small, skilled multidisciplinary innovation team, you will design, implement, and optimize high-performance software solutions and image processing algorithms in C++ using SIMD vectorization for advanced real-time clinical imaging applications. Your work will directly shape the future of real-time clinical imaging, help shape concepts of the future, 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, high-performance 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, driving performance benchmarking and profiling strategies to ensure scalability and efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with scientists and engineers to translate clinical and technical challenges into robust, innovative, high-performance solutions.
• Maintain code quality and maintainability through test coverage, code reviews, and software engineering best practices.
• Be part of a small, high-impact innovation team where your work directly improves patient outcomes.
• Take 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.
• Have 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 expertise in modern C++ (C++17 or later, including C++20/23), with a minimum of 5 years’ working experience in performance optimization.
• Deep expertise in at least one of the following, with solid working knowledge of the other:
• SIMD-optimized C++ development, including AVX2/AVX-512 intrinsics, low-level memory management, profiling, and algorithmic optimization.
• Image processing or computer vision algorithm development, ideally in the healthcare domain.
• Experience with multi-threaded programming (OpenMP, std::thread, or similar).
• Experience with GPU performance programming (CUDA, OpenCL) is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with profiling tools, low-level memory management, and algorithmic optimization is essential.

For office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
