How do you apply?
Please provide us with a CV and meaningful work examples. If possible, provide us with a short video or letter introducing yourself. First, we like to get to know you and want you to know us. Social and cultural fit is as important as a technical skill for us. Thus, we prefer to jump on a video call for 30 minutes. The hiring process will include an assessment task that should take 2-4 hours and can be done asynchronously. The task will be a realistic example of our day-to-day work. We will conclude the process with a meeting with your future colleagues where you present the assessment task, and we have a discussion about your findings.
Salary and compensation The budget for this role ranges up to EUR 85k/year German contract depending on skill level and type of employment.
Why does our compensation vary based on the type of employment and location? Each European country has its unique set of factors contributing to differences in compensation. At IMG.LY our compensation range for a particular position varies due to several factors, including differences in government regulations such as tax rates, employee-employer costs, local market rates, and cost of living standards. Ultimately, our goal is to offer a fair and competitive compensation package that reflects the candidate's skills and expertise, as well as the local market and cost of living standards.
For employment outside of Germany, we choose the Employee of Record (EOR) Model with the support of third-party providers such as letsdeel.com. The EOR model ensures compliance with local labor laws and regulations, including tax and employment laws. This helps reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties or legal issues for the employee and employer.
You can use Deel’s compensations tool to check if your desired annual salary is within the range we gave and also see what would be your estimated net income after any taxes or other deductions based on your location.

Start date 01.04.2023 or earlier.
Your Team We have multiple tech teams sized around 4-8 engineers each, led by one engineer manager. Altogether, we have about 30 engineers at IMG.LY. Our Team structure revolves around the different layers of our SDKs. The engine team is responsible for the core business logic written in C++. The platform teams (iOS, Android, Web, etc.) focus on platform-specific implementations, language bindings, and User Interfaces on top of the C++ Core. Our solutions team works with our technology to build showcases and work directly with our enterprise customers. Location-wise, all teammates are scattered all over Europe and work in a remote-first setting. Also, we have small offices in Bochum and Berlin where everyone can hang around. Every year we get the team together for a fantastic trip to hang out and get to know each other in person.
Your Stack We are building SDKs for many platforms. Our business logic layer is implemented in C/C++ and shared between all our platforms. For each platform like Web, iOS, Android, and so forth, we widely use TypeScript and React, Swift and Swift-UI, Kotlin, and Jetpack Compose. Due to the nature of our product, we need to get our hands on almost every platform-specific language and UI system, for example, React-Native and Flutter.

Hi! We are IMG.LY! Our love for technology & design is the core of our work, and we continually bring that alive with every step in the community across industries. IMG.LY firmly believes in accessible, stunning design for everyone. That is why we have powered over 600 innovative startups, Governments, and Fortune 500 businesses with our SDKs. PhotoEditor SDK, VideoEditor SDK, and CreativeEditor SDK bring fully customizable design editors to applications.
We are a fully remote company. That means: you manage your own time and place while we bring neat design tools to every corner of the world together! IMG.LY embraces a culture of flexibility, written documentation, open company communication, and collaboration. Choose your Batcave and join us on our mission!
What you will do:
Work on our newest flagship CreativeEditor SDK, a fully-customizable design editor that empowers our customers, and covers their design and template needs.
Ensure a user interface with a focus on usability, accessibility, and customizability with our design and product team.
Develop our in-house creative engine UBQ with our engine team. UBQ is a portable cloud-native runtime for creative editing implemented in C++ and compiled to WebAssembly for our web editor.
Discuss and implement APIs and interfaces, and create architectures to integrate our engineering smoothly on the web. Not only for our user interfaces but also for all customers who directly integrate our engine.
What skills you should have:
Eagerness to plan out new features in cycles by collaborating with your team and designing architecture in a balance between getting it done and not being a pain in future.
Know your tools – a good grasp of TypeScript is highly desirable. If you are a JavaScript veteran, we are sure you will learn TypeScript quickly. Experience with a type-system is helpful.
Most of our UI is written in React. Being experienced in React is helpful, but if you are fluent in another web framework, we are also sure you will learn this quickly.
Most importantly, you are eager to learn and happily share your knowledge and improvement ideas in code reviews and architectural discussions. Being able to receive and evaluate constructive feedback is equally essential to us.
A broad understanding of the web platform with its standards, how browsers tick and how to debug effectively.
Not a must, but a bonus in your skillset would be to have:
Have you already built an SDK or worked with WebAssembly? Do you not shy away from reading or even writing a line or two of C++? If you nod in agreement, we need to speak.
It would be a cherry on top if you loved building a positive relationship with your fellow engineers in the industry! Perhaps you enjoy speaking at conferences or sharing your wisdom in a blog, writing, and maintaining Open-source software. In that case, we certainly need to talk.

How do you apply?
Tell us what you’ve been working on in the past, and where you see yourself in the future. The most recent projects are enough, we don’t care who you have been 10 years ago, we care who you are now and where you are heading!
If possible send us code, a GitHub link is perfect, but don’t worry if you don’t have code on GitHub, this is not what we count. Any sample project is worth more than a thousand words.
How the hiring process works After a 20-minute interview, we will provide you with a real problem we have encountered and work on it together. No theoretical buzz, just hands-on! You can choose between a live coding session or taking the task home. After review, we discuss the code with your potential teammates together.
