About VSCO For years, we've helped photographers create their work. Now we're building what comes next. VSCO exists for photographers. Not as a side feature, not as an afterthought, but as the whole point. We build the connected system photographers rely on, and we've spent over a decade earning the trust of a global creative community that takes the craft seriously. Photography is at an inflection point. AI is reshaping what's possible for creative work, and that's where our mission shines. VSCO is building the full photographer's workflow: from creating and editing your work, to delivering it to clients, to running your business. All of it built thoughtfully, with photographers leading the way. We believe the future of photography tools creates more space for creativity, handling the busy work so photographers can focus on the craft. If you care about craft, community, and what technology can unlock for creative people, this is the work. We're a mission-driven and focused company where your work ships quickly, is meaningful, and reaches tens of millions of people worldwide. You'll have a real say in what we build and how we build it. We hire people who don't wait to be asked, naturally connect the dots, care about the quality of what they ship, and believe the best outcomes come from building together. About The Role VSCO is hiring a Senior Staff Engineer to own Reflex, our production GPU image-processing engine, and the path it takes into Studio Pro on iOS and macOS. This is a critical technical leader. You will deepen a stack that is already in customers’ hands: new capabilities (RAW, large-image export, desktop), production quality (color correctness, memory, performance), and the contracts that let product engineers ship on top of the engine without becoming graphics programmers. You will also lead company-wide engineering mentorship and force-multiplication — tools, workflows, and AI-assisted development that make the rest of the team more effective. In This

About the Role At DoorDash we are redefining what it means to be a designer. We are building towards a team of makers, builders, and doers. Between 2005 and 2015, "web designer" became "product designer" and the scope widened. The same shift is happening now — LLMs are expanding the T again, toward strategy on one end and direct execution on the other. As a Staff Product Designer, you will lead this shift across your team: not just practicing build-first design, but multiplying it through the people and systems around you. We're seeking an ambitious and system design minded Staff Product Designer to lead “Meals for Work” within DoorDash for Business , a strategic area at the heart of redefining workplace dining and company perks. You’ll craft transformative consumer and enterprise experiences, from tools that make team lunch ordering effortless to scalable solutions for catering, company paid recurring meals, and grocery benefits. This role offers a unique opportunity to design powerful systems that help workplace admins plan, manage, and operate food programs with confidence, while pioneering new offerings in an evolving market. This position is open for candidates in San Francisco, Seattle, or New York City, and will report to the Head of New Bets Design within our Consumer organization. You will work in a hybrid model, working from one of our offices 1-2 times a week with the rest working from home. Your primary impact is making the team faster and more autonomous. You build reusable workflows, shared tools, and decision frameworks that let every designer on your team operate at a higher level with less coordination overhead. Your secondary impact is revenue: the speed and quality gains you unlock translate directly into more experiments shipped, faster iteration cycles, and measurable business outcomes across your team and adjacent teams. You're excited about this opportunity because you will... Define projects with a clear point of view on what to build,
