Senior Engineer, Graphics

Ginger Labs
Ginger Labs Salary
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/29/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/27/2025
Notability’s mission is to bring the expressivity of paper to the digital realm, so people can learn, study, and collaborate together better. Digital tools offer fantastic benefits, but the input methods can feel constraining — sometimes we need more than typed text. We want to bring the best of both worlds together: the flexibility and organic feel of paper, and the searchability, convenience, collaboration, and power of computers. These values are reflected in the way we work: we value empathy for our users, great design, and believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.

We pioneered this concept of digital paper when Notability was released in 2010 alongside the first iPad. Now we’re building the next generation of multiplayer paper, and that includes expanding our graphics & inking capabilities. We're looking for a senior engineer to join our graphics technology group.

This role is hybrid, 2 days per week in the San Francisco office, and other days from home.

What You’ll Do

  • Solve difficult problems that feature soft real-time performance targets
  • Work across iOS, Android, and Web
  • Design, code, test, debug, and modernize graphics systems that meet our high quality bar
  • Collaborate with non-graphics engineers to leverage each platform's strengths
  • Collaborate with design & product teams to dream big
  • Leverage the GPU for maximum performance
  • Identify and avoid risks with new approaches
  • Participate in code reviews and provide guidance and mentorship on software development best practices
  • Communicate progress and risks to the team
  • Read and understand research papers to implement new functionality
  • Build a product that our customers genuinely love!

What You Need

  • 4 years of experience with graphics programming
  • Experience using the GPU to solve problems in 2D graphics
  • Experience with resolution-independent graphics primitives and related mathematical concepts
  • Strong computer science fundamentals and problem solving skills
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to deliver results in a fast-paced and collaborative environment
  • Passionate about solutions while humble in the face of opposing ideas
  • Desire to embrace the way engineering is changing (more immutable data, functional patterns, etc) while also being intensely pragmatic
  • Experience with CRDTs is a plus

How We Work

Each member of our team contributes to all parts of our products. We trust each other to make decisions independently while also considering our common goals and values. We share ideas openly, and we collaborate across disciplines to ensure that our decisions make sense from all perspectives.

Where We Work

We work in downtown SF near Market Street, just a short walk from two BART/Muni stations. Our office has height-adjustable desks to help us stay limber, spacious conference rooms for both small and large team meetings, and a well stocked kitchen full of goodies.

For this position we are targeting a base pay between $160k-$240k. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
