GPU Software Development Engineer at Intel Corporation
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEkaterina Shiriaeva is a GPU software development engineer with eight years of experience at Intel, specializing in VP9 hardware encoding, media driver and SDK development across Linux and Windows. She combines deep C++ systems expertise (C++11/14/17, C99) with scripting for tests and tooling, and has hands-on experience in simulation/emulation environments and video quality analysis using Intel’s VQ tools. As component owner for VP9 VDEnc features she drove bug triage, readiness management and cross-functional coordination to meet platform milestones, often pairing engineering work with a Scrum Master role. Her open-source contributions to Intel’s media-driver and MediaSDK reflect practical improvements to VP9 encoding, memory allocation and temporal scalability in widely used projects. Based in Munich, she brings a pragmatic blend of low-level GPU driver development and product-focused delivery, underpinned by a Master’s in Computer Science.
