  • Demonstrated ability to technically lead projects, mentor engineers, and drive cross-functional initiatives from concept to delivery.
  • Experience with large-scale asset management and optimizing for performance with high-resolution media.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the architectural vision, design, and implementation of core features for photo and image editing applications.
  • Take end-to-end ownership from initial concept and rapid prototyping to delivering robust, high-performance solutions.
  • Collaborate across teams and organizations to innovate and enhance creative editing tools.
