Background on Glass Imaging:

Founded by former Apple Engineers who brought you Portrait Mode and other iPhone camera features, Glass Imaging is building the future of smartphone photography that delivers astonishing image quality. Glass Imaging has both software-only (AI based) and software+hardware (AI plus custom optical design) solutions to improve smartphone camera quality. 


On the software only side, our edge AI processing algorithms can replace the front end of a traditional camera ISP pipeline to correct the optical defects of lenses, perform joint demosaicing, deconvolution, denoising, and super-resolution, and run on a phone’s GPU, Neural Engine or similar, to give ultra-detailed high fidelity images in near-real-time.


On the software+hardware side, Glass's innovative camera architecture combines a new type of lens with state-of-the-art AI algorithms to form an image on a large image sensor while keeping the overall thickness of the camera module thin enough to fit in any smartphone, and deliver DSLR quality results. 


We are a well funded VC backed seed-stage startup with great benefits (including stock options, competitive pay, 401k, and health insurance), a small (but growing) and friendly team. We are all passionate about photography and hope you are too We strongly prefer applicants based in or able to relocate to Bay Area, though remote/hybrid may be possible in the right circumstances. www.glass-imaging.com
