Background related to embedded hardware, reverse engineering, developing drivers and, specifically, contributions in graphics and the Linux kernel DRM subsystem will come in handy. The candidate will usually be in close collaboration with other teams inside Igalia. Familiarity with the concepts and different layers of the graphics stack will be also helpful when assisting the other developers at Igalia.

This job position involves working with Open Source projects. We expect the candidates be comfortable working in an Open Source environment, including being comfortable communicating and working in public, and have a strong understanding of version control systems (e.g. git, subversion).
