Software Engineer - Algorithms & AI

What you’re applying for

We believe a camera roll holds more than just photos—it holds a person's story. Our Algorithms team is driven by a bold vision: to transform how people connect with their visual memories. By developing powerful algorithms that can rediscover, curate, and reimagine photo collections, we are unlocking magical experiences across a wide range of products. From physical art to digital storytelling, the possibilities are endless.

We are a small, high-caliber team where every engineer owns the full lifecycle—from prototype to deployment. There is no "hand-off" culture here: we build, we ship, we monitor, and we improve. Most of our work involves Python-based algorithm development and productionizing those algorithms at scale. We also work within iOS, primarily for running models locally and syncing results with our servers.

If you are excited by the intersection of algorithmic depth and rigorous software engineering, you’ll feel right at home.

What You’ll Do

• Architect & Enhance: Build and improve the algorithmic and AI-driven systems that power our most intelligent product features.
• Experiment: Run tests and iterate on large datasets to constantly move the needle on performance.
• Bridge Platforms: Build pipelines and services that connect on-device signals to algorithmic decision-making.
• End-to-End Ownership: Take features from an initial idea to full production with measurable user impact.

What We’re Looking For

• Technical Foundation: B.Sc. in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Engineering Excellence: Strong software engineering fundamentals and high coding ability.
• Growth Mindset: A genuine interest in applied AI and a desire to learn alongside the team.
• Production-Ready Backend Skills: Our algorithms serve millions of users in real-time, moving far beyond research notebooks. You have the backend experience to take end-to-end ownership of your models in a live production environment.

Nice to have

• Experience with Computer Vision algorithms and ML research.
• Familiarity with mobile development (especially iOS)
• Familiarity with CoreML, ONNX, or edge ML.
• Experience with C++ / Rust or other performance-oriented programming.
• Background in ML pipelines, embeddings, or large-scale data processing.

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Value full ownership of a project, from initial concept to scalable deployment.
• Enjoy iterating fast on real-world data to make systems measurably better.
• Prefer the agility of a small, autonomous team over a large, fragmented organization.
• Want to grow your expertise in algorithms and AI by building products people actually use.

Why Join us?

• Work on AI-driven features that impact millions of people.
• Join a lean, high-impact team with significant autonomy and ownership.
• Learn applied algorithms and AI by shipping real systems to production.
• Move fast and see your ideas come to life quickly.
