Job description

We're looking for a senior software engineer who combines deep technical expertise with genuine fluency in professional video and cinema workflows. In this role, you'll architect and deliver features across the camera stack, from low-level ISP integration to public-facing APIs, while drawing on your understanding of how professional filmmakers, broadcast engineers, and app developers actually work. You'll navigate color science, image processing, and computational photography with the judgment to know what's practically right versus merely academically correct. You'll maintain relationships with industry partners and standards bodies, synthesize signals from conferences and customer conversations into forward-looking roadmap bets, and translate complex technical strategies into compelling narratives for audiences ranging from peer engineers to executive leadership. Experience building camera/video apps on Apple's platforms is a strong plus: we value engineers who understand the developer experience firsthand and can advocate for our customers with the credibility of someone who has lived in their shoes. 8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to architect systems end-to-end Proven track record of independently driving complex, cross-team technical efforts from ambiguity to delivery Strong programming skills in Objective-C, C, C++, or Swift across both greenfield and legacy codebases Deep expertise in professional video technology: color science, video codecs, frame timing, signal transport, or broadcast workflows Experience working directly with professional video hardware, production environments, or broadcast infrastructure Excellent communication skills with demonstrated ability to present technical strategies to both engineering peers and senior leadership A CS degree or equivalent years of relevant industry experience Professional experience in broadcast, cinema, or live production technology Familiarity with industry timing and synchronization standards (PTP/IEEE 1588, timecode, genlock) Experience building apps or frameworks on Apple platforms (iOS, macOS) Demonstrated understanding of AVFoundation, Core Media, or Core Video Track record of engaging with external partners, customers, or standards bodies Experience with SDI, DisplayPort, or professional video signal transport Comfort navigating HDR workflows or real-time image processing pipelines
