Responsibilities

• Own the Reflex production GPU image-processing engine, including DAG execution, WGSL operators, GPU resource and memory budgets, and color management.
• Ship engine changes through the native bridge into Studio Pro on iOS and macOS, including versioning and release.
• Take new imaging capabilities from design to production, including RAW development, tiled/gigapixel export, and parity with the existing imaging stack.
• Diagnose and fix production mobile graphics issues such as out-of-memory errors, cache eviction, HEIC encoding, and editor, batch, and export paths.
• Define and maintain render and pipeline contracts in the shared Studio Pro core.
• Mentor senior engineers toward Staff-level ownership and improve design and code review quality.
• Lead engineering force-multiplication through improved native packaging and CI, shared review and agent workflows, and AI-assisted development tools.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering to translate goals into technical direction and make pragmatic architectural tradeoffs.

Requirements

• 10+ years of engineering experience, including ownership of a production rendering, imaging, or GPU-compute system.
• Deep GPU and rendering experience with pipelines, shaders, color, and memory.
