Job summary

Aftershoot is building AI-powered tools to help photographers post-process faster and more creatively. We’re seeking a graphics-focused engineer to turn raw sensor data into stunning images and to write GPU code for rapid processing across RAW and non-RAW pipelines.

You will design and optimize RAW image processing, tone mapping, sharpening, and denoising; evaluate approaches, run proofs of concept, and collaborate with product and design to balance quality and speed.

Qualifications

Deep, hands-on understanding of RAW image processing and color science with a focus on tone mapping.
Experience with advanced sharpening and classical denoising for RAW images.
Ability to scope research questions, build proofs of concept, and evaluate results for quality and performance.
GPU programming experience in CUDA, OpenCL, WGSL, or similar.
Knowledge of Local Laplacian Filters and edge-aware tone mapping.
Experience with image processing techniques such as style transfer or interactive tone/color adjustments.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and improve RAW and non-RAW image processing algorithms across the pipeline.
Research candidate approaches, build proof-of-concept implementations, and evaluate quality objectively and subjectively before committing to integration.
Profile and optimize existing algorithms, primarily GPU-bound, against latency and throughput targets.
Make and defend quality-vs-performance tradeoffs, and communicate them to product and design stakeholders.
