Level: 5 to 15 Yrs, Strong & Genuine candidates will only make it. Quality expectation is high with Meta, however rate flexibility possible for the right candidate Skills & Description: We are seeking a versatile and independent C++ Software Engineer to join the AI Infrastructure Silicon Validation team. This role focuses on writing robust software to test, validate, and stress-test AI infrastructure platforms. You will use your strong Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) foundation to build validation applications, integrate with hardware vendor SDKs (including NVIDIA CUDA), and independently deliver reliable testing code.

Key Responsibilities: Write Validation Software: Design, implement, and maintain test applications in C++ to validate the performance and correctness of AI infrastructure.- SDK & API Integration: Successfully integrate and utilize third-party SDKs and low-level APIs, specifically including CUDA, to interact with compute hardware.- Apply Clean OOP Principles: Build reusable, modular, and easily maintainable validation frameworks using proper modern object-oriented design patterns.- Independent Execution: Take ownership of assigned validation features from technical requirements through to delivery, debugging, and documentation withminimal supervision.- Test & Debug: Identify software bugs, memory issues, and api integration edge cases in a Linux-based engineering environment. Required Technical Skills-Strong C++ & OOP: Solid proficiency in core C++ (including modern standards like C++14/C++17) with a deep understanding of classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and memory management.- API/SDK Experience: Demonstrated ability to read documentation, pick up new technical SDKs quickly, and implement them—specifically CUDA APIs.- Proficiency with POSIX Multi-threading- Linux Environment: Comfortable developing, compiling (e.g., CMake/Make), and running applications in a standard Linux environment.- Independent Problem Solver: Proven track record of working autonomously to complete coding tasks, write clean test code and troubleshoot issues.

Desired Experience: Experience writing unit tests or automated validation suites.- Basic familiarity with multi-threaded programming or concurrent execution concepts.- Familiarity with Python for basic scripting or test automation wrappers.- 6+ years of hands-on experience working in complex (preferably) HW-SW projects with tight schedules.
