We combine extensive open source experience with insight into the challenges faced by businesses, non‑profits, and governments. Our technical expertise spans system integration and architecture, graphics, multimedia, web engines, and communications across various markets, including mobile, automotive/IVI, set‑top boxes and smart TVs, and other specialized embedded systems.

Our ideal candidates
We are looking for highly motivated individuals who are passionate about working on Open Source Software, even if they are not yet experienced developers. Candidates should:
