The posting

At Aftershoot, we’re building more than just AI tools; we’re building a global community of photographers who spend less time behind their screens and more time behind the lens. Every feature we create, every update we ship, is designed to make post-processing easier, faster, and smarter for photographers around the world. From culling to editing to retouching. Our AI tools do all the heavy lifting, so photographers can focus on what they do best: capturing moments, telling stories, and creating magic.

We’re a fast-growing, passionate team backed by over 30,000+ photographers and $10 M+ in ARR.

But we’re just getting started. Our mission is clear: solve the biggest pain points in photography, and keep evolving with photographers who use our tools daily.

If you care deeply about building meaningful products, working with curious and driven teammates, and being part of a team that genuinely loves what they do, we’d love to meet you.

Let’s create the future of AI in photography, together.

🚀Your Mission

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Rust/C++) to join our core engineering team at Aftershoot. The ideal candidate is proficient in Rust, C++, or both, with a strong grasp of systems programming and performance optimization. You'll work on building high-performance, scalable backend components that power our AI-driven photo workflows. From architecting low-level modules to collaborating with AI and product teams, your work will directly impact the speed, reliability, and innovation of our platform.

🎯What You Will Be Doing

  • Developing the core backend server in Rust that runs locally alongside the Electron app
  • Designing and implementing APIs for communication between the Electron frontend and Rust backend
  • Managing efficient IPC (Inter-Process Communication) between the two processes
  • Handling local data persistence and storage solutions
  • Optimizing performance for system resources (CPU, memory, disk I/O)

💪What We’re Looking For

  • 2-4 years of professional experience in software development with a focus on Rust, C++, or both.
  • Experience with low-level programming, system programming, or performance-critical applications.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, especially in memory management and performance optimization.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a team.
  • Proactive approach to ownership and delivering projects successfully.

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have):

  • Experience with image processing.
  • Familiarity with Rust libraries like image, imageproc, or C/C++ bindings such as OpenCV.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
