Blueprint Technologies is hiring a Senior Software Engineer – Media Validation & Diagnostics to transform how developers debug and diagnose media and codec issues. You’ll build proactive validation and diagnostics tooling, enabling application and driver developers to identify problems early in development.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement media-focused validation layers and runtime diagnostics for media and codec usage.
- Identify common misuse patterns, failure modes, and configuration errors in media pipelines and surface them through clear warnings and errors.
- Build actionable error messages, logging, and traceability that help developers self-diagnose issues.
- Improve diagnostic coverage and observability across complex media and graphics workflows.
- Collaborate with media, graphics, and developer support teams to understand recurring bug categories and pain points.
- Validate diagnostics and tooling against real-world applications, drivers, and reproduction scenarios.
- Create developer-friendly guidance, examples, and recommended debugging workflows.
- Measure success through reduced bug volume, improved issue quality, and faster resolution times.
What We're Looking For
- Strong experience with media pipelines, graphics systems, or complex runtime components.
- Proven background in debugging and diagnostics engineering, including runtime validation, logging, or trace tooling.
- Solid systems programming experience, ideally close to OS, drivers, runtimes, or performance-sensitive code paths.
- Ability to analyze low-level failures and translate them into clear, actionable developer feedback.
- Experience collaborating across engineering teams to improve platform-level tooling and developer experience.
- Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive, prevention-focused mindset.
Nice to Have
- Experience designing validation layers or debug tooling similar to graphics or runtime debug frameworks.
- Background working with media codecs, hardware acceleration, or driver-level interactions.
- Familiarity with developer support workflows and common bug triage challenges.
- Experience improving developer experience (DX) through tooling, documentation, or self-service diagnostics.
Team & Environment
You'll collaborate closely with media, graphics, and developer support teams.
