Ardour.org | audio software developers/engineers | INTERN-ish | Remote Ardour is a 23-year old FLOSS cross-platform native digital audio workstation. We have a tiny team of 2.5 developers and need/want to attract a few younger minds to the project. We currently cannot offer a full-time paid position, but we can pay for specific projects to be completed - projects that you'd need to identify, want to do, and ratify with the core team. Rates and scope of the work are variable. You will need to be sufficiently self-motivated to both decide what to do, and to actually implement it, though we will provide mentorship and guidance to the right people. You'll need fairly solid C++ skills, and of course git, but more than that, the ability to confront a large, mature codebase and figure out how to work with it to accomplish whatever task you embark on. The current core developers are located near Santa Fe, Berlin and Nashville. All work is remote, timezone-independent and largely unstructured. Work is coordinated mostly via IRC. Ultimately, we're looking for people who, in perhaps 5-10 years, may become the new core developers. Ardour currently brings in more than US$200k/yr and we hope to expand this over the next few years, possibly making a full time position possible at that time. https://ardour.org/development.html will give some ideas about the technology and approaches we use.
