The Opportunity

The NextCam 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.

What You’ll Do

  • 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.
