Title: C++ Image Processing Engineer
Company: Alien Skin Software
Location: Raleigh, NC or remote
Company Overview
Alien Skin Software has been profitably making photography software for 25 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 it into cutting edge products that make beautiful pictures for our customers. RAW photo processing, edge-aware brushing and masking, GPU acceleration, chromatic aberration correction, panorama stitching, HDR, face recognition, and machine learning 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 desktop computer architectures. You will work in a collaborative environment with other developers to build reliable products.
The position is in Raleigh, a charming city full of great food, parks, and museums. We will pay for relocation expenses. Or, you could work remotely -- several of our team members already do.
