Help us Build The Future of Photography Software.
Topaz Labs creates photo and video software that allows creative to take advantage of the latest cutting-edge AI research. We help thousands of people do their best work every day, from amateur photographers to major motion picture studios. To do this, we’re uniquely focused on crafting industry-leading imaging products at the intersection of art and technology.
We're obsessed with crafting Exceptional Products.
We believe great products are build with heart and soul – the culmination of thousands of tiny decisions made by engineers, designers, marketers, and success folks doing the real work every day. It requires deep understanding, unrelenting focus, and obsessing about the details until they’re absolutely perfect. It means we talk to customers until we understand their workflows better than they do – and then painstakingly mold sometimes finicky technology until it’s seamless. There is no room for ego, hierarchy, or politics… Just an unflinching focus on our customer and product.
There’s no better feeling than starting with a blank canvas, molding and remolding something until it works, then polishing it until it’s iconic. We start with a great user experience and work backwards from there.

Excelent Software
I bought Sharp AI. How often it happens that your pics are not tack-sharp when you look at home. Topaz offers a 30 day trial, long enough to see how easily you can fix it. Very very happy with it. Strong recommended.

Great products and great company to deal with.
I purchased DeNoise AI after a friend recommended it and I just purchased Sharpen AI. These products deliver as promised and are easy to learn to use. Customer service is excellent and quick and patient with my problems installing. Great products and great company to deal with.

Topaz AI products produce amazing results. Better and faster than Adobe Photoshop. And the best part is they work so well as a plugin in both Photoshop and Lightroom.

Topaz Software Is Invaluable Tool
Topaz Software has been an invaluable tool in my editing process. They update their software regularly (free) which is a plus. Also like that their software also works as a plugin for Photoshop (as well as stand alone option) to make for a seamless workflow.

Excellent software
All photographers should have the Topaz DeNoise program as part of their editing process. It is easy to use and the technical support is very good. A friend and colleague recommended the software to me; and, I have found it to be as good as any photographic editing software that I have used.

Although we’re just getting started, this product and user focus has helped us double our impact every year with no end in sight. Massive growth means exciting projects and personal opportunities for the folks who work here. What’s more – because we’re currently just 20 people, you’ll have the ability to greatly influence our culture and build the kind of company we all want to build.
Help us build the future of photography tools
Because of the nature of our company and culture, there’s a few unique challenges that we think about every day:
1. There's tension between technology vs. user experience.
Cutting-edge technology is difficult and finicky to work with, almost by definition. It’s one thing to reproduce a few impressive results from a paper somewhere; it’s massively more difficult to build production-ready software loved by creatives all over the world. Some of the challenges we face in every day:
Speed
Deep learning inference is usually far slower than comparable processing methods… but users adore fast. How do we emphasize quality and mitigate speed issues in our products?
Consistency
The “black box” nature of deep learning models means we often can’t predict or explain certain unexpected results. How do we handle edge cases and ensure that people get consistently good results?
Configuration
Customers have hundreds of hardware combinations which significantly impacts how well our products perform on their computers. How do we ensure a consistently great experience in each of them?
Development
The experimental nature of deep learning defies the traditional software development lifecycle. How do we ship fast and well enough to rapidly improve the user experience?
When our products work, they work really well. But the nature of living on the cutting edge means that we can often fail spectacularly too! From product to design to marketing to customer success, we’re striving to become the best in the world at navigating this balance to make the best user experience possible. We’d love your help in exploring this even further.
2. Our impact grows faster than our team size.
There’s two sides to this coin. On one hand, because we’re very selective about who joins the team, you’ll likely work with some of the smartest, most dedicated, and most capable people here that you’ll ever meet. On the other hand, our growth rate always outpaces our hiring rate, so we need to ruthlessly prioritize and continuously grow as individuals in order to get everything done. There’s no “helpers” at our company to take up the slack – each of us owns an area of responsibility larger than our comfort level.
This kind of environment is not for everyone, but we’ve found that certain people absolutely love this fast-paced and ownership-centric kind of culture. Send us a note if that’s you!
3. Our success depends entirely upon fantasic execution.
AI is growing faster than even the early Internet. We’ve been able to use it to create jaw-dropping results for our customers, but we’re not the only ones trying. The success of our product and business relies upon consistently executing better than anyone else in the space.
Companies with strong moats around their business model make money, but they’re not known for being wildly successful innovators. Because our space is moving so fast, we work amidst significant ambiguity and constantly try to push ourselves to be faster and better. We don’t expect to keep our current technology lead if we don’t continuously accelerate.
We don’t have all the answers yet. The majority of our impact has yet to be built – almost certainly by someone reading these words. We’re constantly pushing the cutting-edge at our company, so we’re looking for high-trajectory people to help us get to the next level.
It won’t be easy or relaxing here, but you will have the opportunity to move fast, learn quickly, and do work that matters. We can’t wait to see the impact you make on our company and our industry.
Missionaries over mercenaries, craftsmen over cogs.
We approach hiring a little bit differently than some other companies might. We’re a small team that loves what we do and values craftsmanship and quality over all else. While we’re always excited to welcome new team members, we have no external pressure to grow our team quicker than necessary. Our highest priority is to ensure that new team members will love working here and that we’ll love working with you.
We’ve found that mission-driven people who believe in craftsmanship absolutely love our culture. Along these lines, there’s two questions we ask of each new potential teammate:
Hiring @ Topazlabs
Love
Do you absolutely love what you do? Do you pour yourself into their work with heart? Are you obsessive about making an impact?
Trajectory
Are you unreasonably good at what you do? Are you destined for greatness in your life? Will you use the opportunities at our company as a platform to achieve that greatness?
If this sounds like you, we’d love to chat even if none of our open roles quite fit. Please apply for one of our open jobs and let us know what resonated about our culture. Really hope to hear from you soon – we can’t wait to have you join us!
— The Topaz team
