Open source consultancy for Linux, graphics, and embedded systems
Collabora is a global open source consultancy founded in 2005, focused on kernel, graphics, and multimedia expertise. The stack reflects deep systems work: Vulkan, Mesa, Linux DRM, GStreamer, and embedded tooling (Yocto, device drivers). Hiring is engineering-heavy (9 of 10 active roles) across mid and senior levels in Asia-Pacific regions, paired with one sales role—a staffing shape typical of technical-services firms selling complex systems integration rather than SaaS.
Collabora delivers open source software expertise to commercial organizations, with particular depth in Linux kernel development, GPU drivers (Vulkan, Mesa, Panfrost), multimedia (GStreamer, FFmpeg), and embedded systems (Yocto, device drivers). The company operates as a consultancy and systems integrator, building and maintaining critical infrastructure components for client platforms and handling specialized work like DRM subsystem contributions and GPU optimization for embedded devices. Based in Cambridge with 51–200 employees, the firm maintains active project work across graphics drivers, kernel optimization, and platform reliability engineering.
Collabora uses Vulkan, Mesa, C++, Python, Rust, Linux kernel tools, GStreamer, FFmpeg, Yocto, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, LXC). Deployment and infrastructure tooling includes Jenkins, Ansible, Terraform, and AWS KMS.
Active work includes Mesa Vulkan driver development, Linux DRM subsystem contributions, GPU drivers for embedded devices, mainline kernel optimization for consumer devices, and platform reliability engineering for client workloads.
