Job description

Primate Labs, a small (but mighty!) software company in Toronto, is looking for enthusiastic developers to join our team. The 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 within a small, tight-knit team.

Responsibilities

As a Software Developer, you will have the opportunity to investigate, develop, and optimize CPU benchmark tests that encompass various fields, such as productivity applications, image processing, machine learning, and video games. We value individuals who thrive on tackling ambiguous problems and are eager to research and experiment with different solutions. 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.

Requirements

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

  • Experience with C++ and Python.
  • Experience with profiling tools (e.g., Intel VTune)
  • Experience writing and optimizing multi-threaded code.
  • Working knowledge of computer architecture.
  • Ability to prioritize and apply trade-offs for product constraints.
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • A University degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.

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

  • Experience with SIMD instruction sets (e.g., AVX, NEON, or SSE).
  • Experience with command-line development tools.
  • Experience with mobile development.
  • Experience working in small teams.
  • Primate Labs offers a fun and exciting working environment with minimal bureaucracy. Compensation includes a competitive salary, generous vacation time, and medical and dental benefits.

    This role is a full-time hybrid role in our Toronto office.
