Creative Intelligence Software Engineer - Camera and Photos

Job description

iPhone is the most popular camera in the world, and the Edit Foundation team is focused on integrating the features and algorithms that turn what it captures into something extraordinary. We bring together computer vision, image processing, and machine learning into the exciting experiences that define digital photography today — Cinematic HDR video, Photographic Styles, and generative editing in the Photos app, as featured in multiple keynotes at WWDC. We build the frameworks and core layers that power these experiences — the abstractions the rest of Photos, and teams beyond it, build on — while integrating new algorithms, from classical image processing to on-device ML and generative models, to define what comes next. You'll have real ownership over how these features and algorithms come together into a coherent, best-in-class experience. Our software runs on every iPhone shipped — we're looking for engineers who want that scale of impact. Minimum Qualifications: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience Object-oriented analysis and design experience C / C++ / Objective-C / Swift experience Experience with performance analysis and optimization techniques Experience with image or video processing technologies Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving development environment Preferred Qualifications: Experience with image and video processing applications, methodologies, and best practices Experience with Metal or other GPU programming frameworks Experience with on-device or applied ML techniques and paradigms Interest in visual media, graphics, and/or photography Creative mindset Experience shipping client-facing apps
