ABOUT PIXELZ

At Pixelz, we help photo studio professionals beat deadlines by providing reliable, AI-powered retouching at scale.

Over the years, we’ve innovated in response to the industry challenges of fluctuating image volumes, manual workflows, and inconsistency in image quality. In trying to solve these issues, we developed the concept of S.A.W.™ – Specialist Assisted Workflows.

An idea of splitting the retouching workflow into many different production steps assisted by AI, machine learning, and various other methods of automation. A completely different way of handling retouching than anyone had ever done before.

The result is a retouching service offering unprecedented speed, consistency, and scalability. Together with delivering an outstanding customer experience, this is the reason we are trusted by leading fashion brands around the world.

We are a technology company powered by a talented and passionate team spread across 8 countries hosting a team of 500 people globally. With our diverse team, we are able to push boundaries, embrace change and innovate to create more and better opportunities for our customers, our colleagues, and the communities we are a part of.

Our three core values are:

Let Data Decide. We empower each other to act when we see an issue or opportunity. We take pride in our work, speak up, and continuously improve without the fear of failing.

Build Genuine Relationships. We are in it for the long term. We treat our colleagues, customers, and partners openly and honestly.

Own It. We empower each other to act when we see an issue or opportunity. We take pride in our work, speak up, and continuously improve without the fear of failing.

THE ROLE

Pixelz Inc is the world leader in e-commerce image photography post-processing. We are constantly growing and innovating to provide our customers with best-in-class service. Part of this success is thanks to the cutting edge R&D team. There are really two sides to R&D: one is making algorithms with outstanding performance, the other is making these algorithms work efficiently in production. Thus the R&D team is now looking for a productionization and optimization engineer.

This is a very unique role, you will be the bridge between R&D and production. If you are an engineer with a self-starter mindset, someone who is here to beat the competition, not in Vietnam but in the world, someone who is focused on the objective and on helping the company, then please, apply!

In return you will have a chance to work with a friendly team, state of the art algorithms, beast servers. Pixelz also has a generous vacation policy and we have a yearly summit to exchange knowledge, experience and plan for the next year.

  • Support the R&D team with improved tools (library and server maintenance, share back production optimizations to research to optimize research costs and speed)
  • Provide proper documentation for all the tools that you make/use
  • Convert existing algorithms to production optimized algorithms (same performance but faster execution time)
