Project Details:

In this role, you will implement the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) 1.3 reference transforms into efficient, production-ready C++/Halide code while ensuring strict compliance with ACES specifications. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge color science and real-time image processing pipelines.

This is a 3-6 months part-time role open to candidates in the United States working 8 hours overlap with PST

Requirements

Responsibilities

• Analyze the ACES 1.3 reference implementation and CTL code

• Implement RRT (Reference Rendering Transform) and multiple ODTs (Output Device Transforms) in C++/Halide

• Translate color space conversions, tone mapping, and gamut mapping algorithms into optimized Halide code

• Develop efficient Halide scheduling strategies for real-time color workflows

• Validate output against ACES reference implementation using official test materials

• Build unit tests to cover edge cases and ensure color accuracy

• Optimize memory usage and data flow for real-time 4K+ performance

• Document the implementation with clear explanations of color science principles and algorithmic choices

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in C++ development with a focus on image processing or computer graphics

• Strong experience with the Halide framework for image processing pipelines

• Solid understanding of color science, color spaces, and color management

• Familiarity with ACES workflow and color grading concepts

• Experience handling floating-point precision in image and color processing

• Knowledge of tone mapping, gamut mapping, and color transformation algorithms

• Understanding of HDR imaging concepts

• Proven ability to translate algorithms into optimized, high-performance code
