C++ Developer

This is a remote position.

This is a remote position for a C++ developer who will contribute directly to KiCad's codebase. Open source work differs from typical industry roles : your contributions are public, you interact directly with end users, and you collaborate closely with a distributed development team. There's no shortage of work—KiCad has many areas in active development, and you'll have the opportunity to focus on the features and subsystems that interest you most.

Because we're fully remote, we rely on consistent communication. You should be comfortable staying engaged with the team throughout your workday via our internal chat channels.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain KiCad's C++ codebase
• Write documentation for your work
• Fix bugs—both your own and inherited ones
• Work directly with users to diagnose and resolve issues
• Mentor new contributors
• Travel to 1–2 international conferences per year to present your work

Opportunities for Growth

Depending on your interests, you can expand into community engagement and public speaking, running training sessions, project management, or business development. We support professional development through coursework, training, or other education.
