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:

    • We’re backed by Accel, Sequoia and Icon Ventures
    • 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:

    • Your very own Rylo camera on your first day! 
    • Join our team lunches, happy hours, and off-sites
    • Meaningful equity
    • Flexible work schedule
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • Easy access to snacks and drinks
