Put a dent in the universe
Make a real impact on thousands of photographers
It’s hard to find a group of people as passionate as photographers are. These are folks who travel for weeks, brave fierce weather, and sometimes even risk their lives to get that perfect shot.
So when we help photographers create better work through carefully designed software, it matters deeply to them. You’ll make a powerful and lasting difference in the lives of thousands of people.
We’re a small team making a big impact. Each of us directly improves the lives of our customers and influences our industry every single day.
It’s not easy, but it’s endlessly exciting and rewarding.

Choose what you work on
We believe that great things happen when you take intense pride in your work. We believe the best thing we can do is align the company’s goals with your individual goals – and then get out of your way.
So you’re not going to do any busy work if we can help it. Instead, take full ownership over your area of responsibility. You’ll decide what to work on, and every decision will have a real impact that you can see and own.
Our philosophy is to move fast and constantly iterate. Own your successes and learn from your failures. Be relentlessly resourceful. And do the best work you’ve ever done because you know it’ll make a difference.
Your destiny within the company depends 100% on you.

Become the best at what you do
It takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to achieve world-class skill. That is an enormous amount of time. How do you plan on getting there?
We’ll make a promise to you. At Topaz Labs, you’ll work harder than you’ve ever worked before. But, in return, we’ll make sure that everything you do puts you further on your path towards mastery.
The beauty of working in a small team is that you get to make a big footprint. By taking on big responsibilities and being 100% engaged every day, you will improve faster than you ever could otherwise.
Our goal is to make you the best in the world at what you do. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re willing to put in the work, then let’s talk!
