protocol VS ImgixSwift

Reserve | Remote | Full-time | https://reserve.org | Censorship resistant money, backed by Peter Thiel and Sam Altman

Early startup with traction, 500k users across three countries, >$100M monthly transaction volume on our financial platform.

Our long-term goal is to offer an alternate currency that is essentially a modernization of commodity money – a cryptocurrency backed by a basket of low-volatility real-world assets. This would provide an alternative to USD that is actually stable enough to use as money. (No, BTC is not the answer. No, algorithmic stablecoins are not the answer.)

We’re open to team members from anywhere, with preference for the Americas due to timezones.

- Frontend Engineer (https://imgix.com/careers#frontend-engineer)

There are services like imgix out there which are pretty cost effective and take a lot of the effort out of images. Aside from requesting a specific size and applying transforms in the URL parameters you can also use format=auto which will check the browser's user agent and deliver a compatible, optimized format. Super easy to setup over the top of an existing site too since they have a web folder option which means you can leverage an existing image host. Alternatively you can link it to an S3 bucket.
