Imaging Software Senior Engineer

Responsibilities

This position will be responsible for creating new digital photo correction algorithms and improving our current corrections and image transformation algorithms.

• Develop novel algorithms to manipulate digital images.
• Support and advance our current, proprietary imaging algorithms.
• Selecting and adapting open-source, best-of-breed algorithms for standard imaging tasks like.
• Sharpening, curves, tone mapping, perspective correction, barrel/pin-cushion correction.
• RAW-level imaging tools, like demosaicing, noise reduction, highlight recovery.
• Multi-image corrections, like HDR tone-mapping, noise reduction, panorama stitching.

Requirements

• Experience developing digital imaging corrections and manipulations focused on photographic content.
• Must have commercial experience with digital photography and image processing, and familiarity with optimization strategies for image processing.
• Strong organizational and documentation skills.
• Comfortable coding in many relevant languages: C, C++, C#, Objective-C, .NET, WebAssembly.
• Experience with OpenCL, OpenGL and CPU-based image processing pipelines.
• Exposure to video codecs, keyframing, transcoding and processing.
• Familiar with modern coding and development practices and tools (we use Git/Gerrit).
• Adept at desktop software resource profiling: memory leak detection, thread deadlock detection and avoidance.
• Ability to understand high-level marketing goals, conceive of engineering solutions to meet these needs, implement, test and deploy on time.
• Ability to root-cause complex bug reports, find and implement creative solutions to ensure high product quality.
• Conversational English skills (spoken and written).
