About this role
For many of us there’s that one podcast we never miss, and video content is part of our daily routine, whether it’s professional or personal. But how many of us truly understand the effort that goes on behind the scenes? Here at Riverside, we know it well. That’s exactly why we built an AI-powered platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketeers, and more at major brands like Netflix, Disney, Google, and Microsoft to create high-quality content with ease.
Riverside’s technology streamlines the entire content creation process, turning ideas into professional-grade content with the highest production standards, without requiring expensive equipment or external services. The secret? AI-driven tools that replace traditional production roles like editing, directing, and design, automating the entire process at the click of a button.
About the Engineering Team:
We’re a team of smart, curious engineers building scalable, reliable systems that power content creation for millions. We work with modern web technologies, tackle real-world challenges in distributed systems, and keep things practical—no overengineering, just solid solutions. If you love solving tough problems, moving fast, and building tech that creators actually use, you’ll fit right in.
On your day to day:
You’ll lead and mentor a team of rendering and performance engineers, guiding the development of advanced rendering pipelines using Emscripten and WebAssembly for modern browsers. You’ll work hands-on to optimize and port C++ rendering code to the web, ensuring top-tier performance and a lightweight footprint. Collaborating with frontend developers, product managers, and designers, you’ll help deliver seamless, interactive creative tools including integrations with platforms like Photoshop Web.
What Will Make You Stand Out?
- BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in graphics programming or rendering systems.
- 2+ years of experience in leading or mentoring technical teams.
- Deep understanding of C++ and graphics fundamentals.
- Proven experience with Emscripten - a must.
- Strong experience working with WebAssembly, WebGL, or WebGPU.
- Understanding of browser environments, limitations, and performance considerations.
- Experience integrating or building creative tools (e.g., with or around Photoshop Web or similar).
Bottom line? If you wanna take part in transforming how people and businesses share their stories globally, Riverside’s your place. The work is challenging, the culture is fast-paced, and the people are exceptionally brilliant. And if that’s not enough, we guarantee that your ideas will genuinely make an impact
