Quality Engineer, Nextcam

The Opportunity

The Next Cam team is building next-generation imaging and video technologies that power modern photo / video editing and mobile camera experiences. We are looking for a Quality Engineer who is passionate about image quality, computational photography, and mobile user experiences.

You are excited about testing complex imaging and video algorithms, validating camera performance across real-world scenarios, and ensuring that innovative features ship with exceptional quality. You thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced R&D environment and enjoy combining manual exploration with thoughtful automation.

If you're eager to make a visible impact on camera experiences used by millions, we'd love to meet you.

• Test and validate new imaging and video algorithms, including image processing, computational photography, and video pipeline features.
• Evaluate image and video quality across diverse real-world scenarios (lighting, motion, color accuracy, edge cases, device conditions).
• Partner closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to define quality standards and acceptance criteria for new camera features.
• Perform functional, regression, exploratory, and end-to-end testing of the Project Indigo iOS camera application.
• Set up automation infrastructure and integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks for mobile camera features and algorithm validation.
• Perform validation and help with optimization of AI and GenAI models.
• Monitor test results, triage failures, and ensure timely resolution of regressions.
• Log, track, prioritize, and help drive closure of bugs in collaboration with engineering and product teams.
• Contribute to improving team processes for defect tracking, release readiness, and quality metrics.
• Help define and evolve quality benchmarks for image fidelity, performance, stability, and reliability.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience testing mobile applications (preferably iOS) through full release cycles.
• Strong understanding of software QA methodologies, tools, and best practices.
• Experience with test automation frameworks for mobile applications (e.g., XCTest, Appium, or similar).
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems and automated test integration.
• Ability to analyze image and video quality issues with strong attention to detail.
• Experience with bug tracking systems such as JIRA and source control tools like Git Hub.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a cross-functional team.
• A passion for photography and/or videography! To deliver features that will delight our audiences we need to understand and appreciate them ourselves.

• Experience testing imaging, video, or computational photography systems.
• Experience with computer programming in languages such as C/C++, python, etc.
• Understanding of image signal processing (ISP), camera pipelines, or video encoding/decoding.
• Experience using tools such as Xcode, Charles Proxy, logging/analytics platforms, or crash reporting systems.
• Background or strong interest in photography, videography, or digital imaging.
• Experience building internal quality dashboards or quality metrics frameworks.

You'll work on cutting-edge camera technologies that blend software, hardware, and AI-driven imaging innovation. Your work will directly impact the quality and reliability of features that users see and experience every day.

If you are passionate about image quality, automation, and building world-class camera experiences, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
