This role sits within the Engineering team and reports directly to Michael Shaw, our CTO. You'll collaborate with other engineers, designers, the Product Quality team, and our Executive.

What you'll do

  • Work closely with our UI and rendering teams to deliver core functionality in Procreate products
  • Solve complex and unique technical problems in a realtime and memory constrained environment
  • Develop next generation software that pushes the hardware to its limits in low-latency, real-time systems

Required Skills

  • Firm understanding of systems programming in C/C++
  • Deep understanding of multi-threaded concurrency and parallelism approaches
  • Experience with CPU optimization and debugging
  • A strong track record of developing libraries used by teams
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Bonus Skills

  • Experience with SIMD
  • Competence in linear algebra and trigonometry
  • Experience in a relevant domain including animation, audio, video, storage, resource streaming, networking and distributed systems.

What to expect in the first 6-12 months

  • Complete the Procreate onboarding process and get to know your colleagues
  • Build an understanding of our products, development practices, processes and frameworks
  • Prepare and support the execution of core product features
  • Establish relationships with inter-departmental key stakeholders
  • Become an integral and contributing part of our engineering team and ship product

We want to hear from you

Our recruitment process is made to provide you with opportunities for you to show us what you're capable of, instead of assessing you solely on your CV.

We’d love to hear about how you see yourself contributing to Procreate in this role.

Please note, we do not operate remote or hybrid models. We're looking for full-time and on-site employees for our Hobart office.
