C++ Image Processing Engineer

Description

Company Overview

Alien Skin Software has been profitably making photography software for 24 years. Our products make pictures beautiful and our customers love them. We offer a relaxed but professional environment with excellent benefits. We don’t have investors or debt, so decisions are based on long term profitability and the welfare of our customers and employees. It’s a great place to work.

The Job

You will be taking state-of-the-art research from top-ranked publications and translating them into cutting edge products that make beautiful pictures for our customers. Highlight and shadow recovery, face recognition, perspective correction, panorama stitching, edge-aware brushing and selection, HDR, and GPU acceleration are just some of the projects we have lined up. We create software for use by real working photographers, so you’ll also assist in deploying your code to MacOS and Windows computers using Qt.

Don’t imagine yourself sitting in a cubicle writing Matlab code. You must be an expert C++ programmer who can implement robust multi-threaded algorithms that take full advantage of modern multi-core SIMD computer architectures. You will work in a collaborative environment with other developers to build reliable products. And yes, you will have your own office.

The position is in Raleigh, a charming city full of great food, parks, and museums. We will pay for relocation expenses.
