Open source engineering consultancy for Linux kernel, graphics and multimedia
Collabora is a Cambridge-based open source consultancy whose stack reads like a Linux platform engineering bench: Embedded Linux, Yocto, U-Boot, Mesa, Vulkan, Wayland, GStreamer, PipeWire and Rust. Hiring is minimal but split between kernel engineering and marketing, with job posts pointing to partner ecosystem enablement and co-marketing, a sign the firm is working to turn deep technical capability into a more scalable commercial engine.
Collabora is a privately held consultancy founded in 2005 and headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It helps commercial organizations adopt and build on open source software across the Linux kernel, device drivers, graphics, multimedia, build systems and machine learning, and also offers training. The company employs between 51 and 200 people and operates globally, with current hiring in the United States and Gibraltar. Its engineering work spans embedded Linux, graphics drivers, audio and video pipelines, and containerized CI infrastructure.
Collabora works with Embedded Linux, Yocto, U-Boot, Mesa, Vulkan, Wayland, X11, GStreamer, FFmpeg, PipeWire and ALSA, plus Rust, C++ and Python, with GitLab, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible and Terraform for infrastructure.
Hiring is currently minimal. The open roles are in engineering, focused on mainline Linux kernel work, and in marketing, with positions based in the United States and Gibraltar.
Job posts point to mainline Linux kernel development, kernel optimization for consumer devices, enabling a global partner ecosystem, and running co-marketing programmes.
