Software C++ Engineer

GoPro France is a research and development center in charge of everything related to image, from the camera part to the processing chip, including smartphone software.

Our goal for next generation cameras is to keep improving the best image quality on the market and to make them smarter, capable of analyzing the current scene, its context and the user’s intent to automatically take decisions for a seamless user experience from capture to sharing videos with friends. New ways of capturing the moment emerge, such as 360 cameras.

These technologies offer yet unexplored opportunities but offer new challenges in image quality and computer vision that need to be tackled to allow a wider public adoption.

Location: Flexible (Paris Issy-les-Moulineaux). This role offers the flexibility to work from home from France, within proximity to an office location.
