- Develop Metal shaders and integrate AI/ML models into production image and video processing pipelines.
- Prototype algorithms, profile performance, and optimize high-performance graphics and playback systems.
- Ensure correctness across colorspaces and display targets.
- Integrate new features into mature application frameworks without regressions.
- Collaborate with video engineering, machine learning, and product design teams.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience developing image and video processing algorithms, particularly for real-time or near-real-time applications.
- Hands-on experience implementing and optimizing GPU-based visual effects for video playback pipelines.
- Proficiency with Metal for GPU programming on Apple platforms.
- Strong C/C++ skills and production software development experience with Objective-C or Swift.
- Understanding of NLE playback pipelines, colorspace management, and display rendering.
- Familiarity with node-based image-processing architectures and their trade-offs.
- Familiarity with AI/ML-based image and video processing technologies and on-device model integration.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- Preferred: experience developing or adapting AI/ML models for image enhancement, style transfer, or video understanding.
- Preferred: expertise with Core Image or AVFoundation, shipped real-time camera or video features on iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, and performance profiling using Xcode Instruments or GPU Frame Capture.
- Preferred: experience with computational photography, color science, ICC profiles, or HDR/wide-color-gamut pipeline design.
