QA Lead

At Aftershoot, we’re building more than just AI tools; we’re building a global community of photographers who spend less time behind their screens and more time behind the lens. Every feature we create, every update we ship, is designed to make post-processing easier, faster, and smarter for photographers around the world. From culling to editing to retouching. Our AI tools do all the heavy lifting, so photographers can focus on what they do best: capturing moments, telling stories, and creating magic. We’re a fast-growing, passionate team backed over 100K+ active users globally. But we’re just getting started. Our mission is clear: solve the biggest pain points in photography, and keep evolving with photographers who use our tools daily.
