Collabora

We are a global consultancy, founded in 2005, that brings the advantages of Open Source software to commercial clients. We offer consulting and software development services, helping our clients build solutions, adopt Open Source methods, and contribute code back to the community.

Our expertise covers various areas of Open Source development, including the Linux kernel, graphics, multimedia, web engines, machine learning, and XR. We specialize in technologies like Panfrost, device driver development, build systems, GStreamer, OpenXR, Monado, system integration, Embedded Linux, PipeWire, Debian, hardware enablement, Yocto Project, Apertis, and Deep Learning. For example, our team has worked on fixing Zink’s synchronization, resolving BSP challenges, and contributing to Debian releases.

One of our key products is Collabora Online, which allows users to run LibreOffice in the cloud. It’s developed by the largest team of certified LibreOffice engineers.

Our “Open First” philosophy goes beyond a development model; we believe that free and open access to software drives innovation.

Our core values include autonomy, personal growth, and a healthy work-life balance, supported by flexible work arrangements. We offer stimulating and challenging assignments that foster personal and career development. We encourage continuous learning, engage with cutting-edge technologies, and provide strong support for our globally distributed teams.

We are a globally distributed company with nearly 150 engineers and developers. Our team members are active Open Source contributors and maintainers, all passionate about technology and Open Source.

Our culture prioritizes autonomy, trust, and personal growth, offering flexible work arrangements like remote work and flexible hours. We encourage our employees to volunteer their expertise and participate in the strategic planning of Open Source projects.

We cultivate a collaborative, fast-paced, and friendly work environment where continuous learning thrives. We operate as a remote-first company, with optional office spaces in cities like Montreal and Cambridge.

We offer competitive salaries based on experience and location. New hires receive an office setup budget.

After five years of continuous service, employees can take a sabbatical or opt for a retention of services benefit. We have a co-working policy for those who prefer to work from an office outside their home.

We provide biannual well-being assessments with a trained mental health specialist. We also cover expenses for conference attendance and encourage our team members to take speaking opportunities. Additionally, we offer dedicated “open source time” for contributing to projects important to them.
