Careers at KDAB

KDAB employs exceptional software engineers, as well as efficient and service-minded administrative staff.

Software Engineers

We do not generally advertise software engineering positions, but we are always interested in hearing about highly qualified developers. If you

  • are an outstanding software developer with several years of experience in Qt, embedded systems, mobile devices, or 3D graphics (any combination of the latter three with Qt is a big plus)
  • are willing to work hard on challenging software projects for demanding clients with tight deadlines
  • speak, read, and write English fluently (we do not require perfect grammar nor a large vocabulary, but you must be able to communicate in English effortlessly)
  • are willing to work in a multicultural workforce, have a high tolerance for other people being different, and are not easily offended
  • can stand being made fun of in good faith by your coworkers (and maybe even enjoy making fun of your coworkers, too)
  • are willing to travel regularly

we would like to hear from you. Particular pluses would be:

  • working experience in commercial software development
  • working experience in KDE development
  • very good language skills in French or German
  • experience in embedded systems, mobile devices, or 3D graphics
  • experience with modern version control systems such as Subversion and git
  • experience with modern issue tracking systems such as Jira
  • experience with software development on MS Windows, Unix/Linux, and Mac OSX
  • software project management experience

We do not care about your age, sex, race, nationality (as long as local labor laws permit us to employ you), sexual orientation, political opinion (as long as it is within democratic bounds), nor religion. We care more about your practical software development experience than which school you went to.

We will consider applications both for our offices in Hagfors (Sweden), Berlin (Germany), Houston, TX (USA), and San Bruno, CA (USA), as well as for telecommuting from home. We will consider applications for both full-time and part-time work.
