At Rylo you'll be working in a small team that's building and shipping new consumer focused camera technology. You'll have a unique opportunity to drive software innovation and influence the hardware design to enable novel computational photography paradigms.

What we are looking for:

- Demonstrated ability to research, design and implement graphic techniques. This includes features like post effects (Depth of Field, etc.), physically based optical effects, occlusion and global illumination.
- Experience optimizing shaders for texture bandwidth, fill rate and ALU.
- Experience debugging and profiling with tools like Razer and Renderdoc.
- Experience working on render architecture with modern graphics APIs (Vulkan, Metal, D3D12), extra credit if the engine was multithreaded.
- Solid knowledge of color theory.
- 7+ years writing production code.
- Deep knowledge of C++, C++11, design patterns.
- Mobile platform focus.

Nice to have:

- Experience writing cross platform code.
- Experience designing for multi-threaded architectures.
- Experience with optimization and profiling (Intel TBB, OpenMP or equivalent).
- Familiarity with graph-based architecture.
- Familiarity with design of high-level APIs.
- Experience in profiling, debugging and testing complex systems.
- Familiarity with 3D data structures and formats.
- Familiarity with GPU computing APIs.

Why Rylo:

- You’ll work with and learn from a highly cross-functional engineering team. Spanning software across the full stack: backend, frontend, iOS, Android, desktop, and embedded systems.
- Just a year and a half after founding Rylo, we shipped our first camera on time and with a team of only 18. We love what we do and work hard to do it.
- Since launching in November 2017, we’ve expanded distribution to some of the top retailers, such as Amazon and Best Buy.
- We value: ownership, a thoughtful approach to problem solving, transparency, candor, and a willingness to learn and teach.
- You’ll help us build the future of cameras so that anyone can easily capture, edit, and share their favorite memories with the world.

Benefits and perks:
