Job description

Are you looking for a software role with real impact? Do you have top-notch skills with C? Have you got a track record of Open Source contributions? If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions than this is the role for you.

This team of global experts work on key software products that have become ubiquitous parts of modern computing, such as web browser rendering engines, a/v frameworks, and OS kernels. Their contributions are all Open Source, and they work closely with project maintainers to ensure their work is integrated upstream and benefits all. Alongside general computing they also work in more specialised areas such as mobile handsets, aerospace, and automotive.

This is a consultancy role, so visiting clients to discuss technical matters, analysing issues, and architecting solutions are all key aspects of this role. You may also be asked to represent the company at conferences or trade shows. So, good written and verbal communication skills are key.

Requirements:

• Significant experience with production-ready, low-level, software development.
• Excellent skills with C. Additional knowledge of Rust would be beneficial but is not necessary.
• Knowledge of Open Source development processes and experience of contributing to Open Source projects.

This is a fully remote role and comes with flexible working hours. However, you still need full rights to work in the UK without limitation to be considered. This company will not sponsor.

Please note: even if you don’t have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest – we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
