- You care a lot about user experience and have worked on user interfaces you are proud of
- You have a strong sense of ownership. You take initiative and you are at ease to make product & technical decisions

- You own your work from A to Z: it goes from working on the architecture and coding features to polishing top-notch interfaces in order to bring a delightful experience to our users
- You get fast feedback from our users and iterate quickly (we ship a new version of the app every week). You follow the usage of the product and make decisions based on that
- You work within a small multicultural team composed of 14 passionate, friendly & committed folks
- Through your code, your reviews, by transmitting your knowledge and experience, you have at heart the progress and the impact of the whole team
Application process

Our take
Images are one of the most important parts of any business's digital strategy. Not only do images portray a lot of information quickly, they also help to grab attention, engage viewers, and, often most importantly, sell products. For example, articles including images can get up to 94% more total views than those without, and, as a general rule, the better quality images that are used on an online store, the more products that are likely to be sold as a result.
This growing trend is what PhotoRoom is relying on. PhotoRoom makes use of AI which automatically crops people and objects in an image, giving users plenty of room for manoeuvre when it comes to creative freedom. For example, influencers and people reselling clothes and fashion items have been relying on PhotoRoom to make their products look appealing, and this niche of creators is only one part of a massively scalable consumer base of individuals using their phones as their main creativity platform.
With earnings based on a subscription model, the key challenge for PhotoRoom will be keeping its users engaged on a long-term basis. That being said, with operations now on both Android and iOS, PhotoRoom is in a strong position to keep growing.
