Software Engineer - GPU Driver

Location:

Zurich, Switzerland

Your role

As a GPU engineer at Soverli, you will work on the graphics and compute foundations that power secure multi‑OS smartphone environments. You will design and optimize GPU drivers, memory subsystems, and rendering/compute pipelines for ARM Mali‑based platforms.

In particular, you will

• Design, develop, and maintain virtualizable kernel‑space and user‑space GPU drivers for ARM Mali GPUs.
• Implement and optimize GPU‑related HALs and memory management systems.
• Work with Linux graphics subsystems including DRM/KMS, Mesa, Gallium, Vulkan, and OpenGL ES.
• Profile and tune GPU performance for rendering and compute workloads.
• Debug complex GPU issues involving shaders, synchronization, rendering pipelines, and memory regressions.
• Contribute to testing and CI pipelines for GPU driver components.
• Collaborate closely with firmware, kernel, driver, and Android graphics engineers on end‑to‑end GPU system integration.

Qualifications

• Strong experience with C/C++ and low‑level debugging.
• Proven background in GPU or graphics driver development.
• Understanding of Linux graphics architecture (DRM/KMS, Mesa, Gallium).
• Familiarity with ARM Mali architectures (Utgard, Midgard, Bifrost, Valhall).
• Experience with Vulkan/OpenGL ES and GPU memory/synchronization models.
• Comfortable with embedded Linux and AArch
  64 environments.
• A BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Fluent English and strong analytical/problem‑solving skills.

Nice to Have

• Contributions to open‑source GPU projects (e.g., Mesa, Panfrost).
• Experience with shader compilation tool chains or compute APIs.
• Understanding of Virtio‑GPU or GPU virtualization.
• Knowledge of Android graphics framework internals.

Benefits

• Work with a passionate founding team on cutting‑edge technology with high real‑world impact.
• Work across the full device stack — from firmware and bootloaders to kernel modules, drivers, and system security.
• Join a well‑funded startup at an early stage — high learning curve, high responsibility, and fast professional growth.
• Help shape both the product and the engineering culture.
• Competitive compensation (including stock options).
• Flexible home‑office policy and working hours.
