Description

  • Contribute Vulkan driver code upstream to Mesa and the Linux DRM subsystem.
  • Debug GPU behavior on real hardware and diagnose rendering corruption, hangs, and other driver issues.
  • Reverse engineer undocumented hardware quirks and implement fixes that work across the Linux ecosystem.
  • Work with Mesa maintainers and kernel maintainers through code review and open source collaboration.
  • Translate hardware vendor and client requirements into upstream-compatible technical solutions.
  • Balance upstream correctness, performance targets, vendor constraints, and client deadlines while maintaining code quality.
  • Explain complex GPU and driver architecture decisions to product teams and clients.
  • Review patches, participate in technical discussions, and help shape driver architecture decisions.
  • Represent the company at conferences such as XDC and FOSDEM when needed.

Requirements

  • Solid understanding of Vulkan, including command buffers, render passes, synchronization, memory management, and pipelines.
  • Familiarity with Vulkan validation layers and a debugging workflow.
  • Basic understanding of GPU hardware concepts such as queues, tilers vs IMR, and memory hierarchies.
  • Linux kernel basics, including the ability to read and navigate kernel code.
  • DRM fundamentals, including GEM/buffer management, dma-buf/prime sharing, fence and sync objects, and GPU job submission paths.
  • Mesa architecture awareness, including Gallium and driver structure.
  • Basic understanding of how userspace drivers interact with the kernel.
  • Strong C and C++ skills, including pointer arithmetic, memory management, and kernel-style coding.
  • Git experience with mailing list patch workflows, not just GitHub pull requests, is preferred.
  • Ability to read specs and documentation independently is preferred.
  • Comfort working in large unfamiliar codebases is preferred.
  • Open source contribution mindset, including public code review and upstream-first collaboration, is preferred.
  • Existing Mesa or kernel patch history is preferred.
  • Experience with a specific GPU family such as ARM, AMD, or Intel is preferred.
  • Python experience for tooling and scripting is preferred.
  • Rust programming skills are preferred.
  • Understanding of KMS fundamentals or Wayland clients is preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience and location.
  • Office setup budget.
  • Sabbatical/retention of services after five years of continuous service.
  • Co-working support for working outside the home.
  • Biannual wellness assessments with a trained mental health specialist.
  • Conference attendance expenses covered, with encouragement to speak.
  • Open source time to contribute to projects you care about.
  • Fully remote work with flexible hours.
  • No on-call rotations.
  • Global team across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
