The Software Developer will help us build the next version of Geekbench, our popular cross-platform benchmark for desktop and mobile platforms. Our customers are diverse, from individual consumers to Fortune 500 hardware companies, and rely on us to provide applications that produce accurate and unbiased performance assessments.

The ideal candidate will enjoy working on challenging technical problems and will thrive in an entrepreneurial environment working alongside a small team of domain experts.

As a Software Developer, you will have the opportunity to investigate, develop, and optimize benchmark tests that encompass various fields, such as productivity applications, developer tools, image processing, machine learning, and video games. We value Developers who are eager to research and experiment to find solutions to difficult problems. You will also contribute to the development and maintenance of features within the Geekbench application, ensuring their accurate performance and functionality across multiple mobile and desktop platforms.

Required Skills

We’re looking for candidates with the following background and skills:

• Experience with both C++ and Python.
• Working knowledge of computer architecture.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently.
• Pursuing an undergraduate degree in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering).

The following skills are nice to have but by no means necessary:

• Experience with profiling tools (e.g., Intel VTune).
• Experience writing and optimizing multi-threaded code.
• Experience with SIMD instruction sets (e.g., SSE, AVX, NEON).
