Graphics and Windowing System Software Engineer
We build a
high-performance, high-efficiency stack for window managers and display
subsystems in C++, called Mir. We’re growing the team and looking for new
colleagues who share our passion for precision, performance and user experience.
Our goal is to enable the
whole spectrum of graphics from single-purpose screens through edge devices to
full desktop environments. We focus on developers who are building window
compositing systems or device graphics experience, and aim to give them an
amazing developer experience, security, and easy access to today’s most used
graphics toolkits and libraries.
We work on Mir and
solutions built on it like Ubuntu Frame, and we also set the pace for graphics
enablement across the Ubuntu certified hardware ecosystem. Our daily drill
includes design, development and testing of features in those pieces of
software as well as responding to issues and user inquiries. Most of the
software is written in C++, with support tooling in scripting languages. We’re
also considering Rust or Carbon as evolutionary steps forward.
