CodeWeavers | St Paul, MN, USA | Full Time | REMOTE | Wine, 3D Graphics, and General Open Source Developers | C-language systems programming

https://www.codeweavers.com/about/jobs

CodeWeavers is hiring skilled C programmers to work on the open source Wine project and other related open source projects, including several 3D graphics projects (Vulkan, OpenGL, and Direct3D). CodeWeavers partnered with Valve Software to integrate Wine into the Steam for Linux client as a part of the Steam Play (Proton) initiative. This allows Linux gamers to play Windows games on Linux more easily. We need new, full-time developers to improve Wine's ability to run games.

We are hiring remote programmers, US or international, as well as workers local to Saint Paul, Minnesota. We will consider relocation, if desired, on a case-by-case basis. Please see link above for information, benefits, requirements, and how to apply.

(I've removed the phrase "or O N S I T E" from this post because that signifies that R E M O T E is not an option, which is clearly not what you intended. It screws up text searches, which is why I've added spaces to those words here too.)

Open Source & Gaming are both areas known for low salaries. What salary range is the "Graphics Developer" opening in?

Not trying to be rude, but you will get more applicants if people feel that they aren't going to be wasting their time to apply for the position. Hiding pay starts the employment relationship off on the wrong foot at best, and at worst signals that there is something to hide.

Please don't post like this here. It's common for people to be under constraints about what they're able to reveal publicly. Maybe coldpie feels exactly the same as you do.

I'm curious about 'No exposure to Microsoft code or reverse-engineering of Microsoft software'. Are you able to elaborate here? -Thanks!

They work on a compatibility layer for Windows applications on Linux. While "clean room" implementations are fine, it legally gets a bit dicey if you have someone who has reverse engineered Windows or seen their source code working on the project.
