* Collaborate closely with engineers across hardware, FPGA, and UI teams
* Investigate, debug, and solve complex problems across the stack
* Participate in technical planning and contribute to product direction
* Get involved in experimental development, prototyping, and internal tooling
What We're Looking For
* Solid experience (or strong interest) in C/C++ programming
* Comfortable working in Linux, macOS, or other Unix environments
* Exposure to low-level development or embedded systems is a bonus
* Ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code
* Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
* Interest in video, imaging, or working close to the metal
* A proactive mindset and willingness to learn deeply technical systems
Why Work With Us?
* Build serious tools for creative professionals
* Work in a focused, engineering-led company that ships real products
* Join a collaborative and experienced team who value quality and depth
* See your code in use on sets, in studios, and at live events around the world
