What you will do

• Contribute to the Reflex production GPU image-processing engine, including DAG execution, WGSL operators, GPU resource and memory budgets, and color management.
• Ship engine changes through the UniFFI and Nitro native bridge into Studio Pro for iOS and macOS, including versioning and releases.
• Take new imaging capabilities from design to production, including RAW development, tiled or gigapixel export, and parity with the existing imaging stack.
• Diagnose and resolve production mobile graphics issues involving out-of-memory errors, cache eviction, HEIC encoding, editing, batch, and export paths.
• Develop render and pipeline contracts in the shared Studio Pro core so mobile and desktop implementations remain coherent.
• Improve native packaging, CI, review workflows, AI-assisted developer processes, and technical direction in partnership with Product, Design, and Engineering.

Requirements
