Photoshop Developer, GPU/Imaging

Overview In this role you will design, build, and optimize GPU-based imaging and rendering features for Adobe's Next Gen Engine (NGE) and Photoshop Desktop. You will work on live, non-destructive on-canvas filters, color pipelines, and real-time image processing, collaborating with cross-functional teams to push performance and visual quality. This is a ground-up rebuild offering scope to shape core rendering technology at scale. You will write high-quality, well-documented code and contribute to design reviews and documentation.
