VLC & FFmpeg | Low-level Software Engineer | Paris or REMOTE, INTERNS | Full-time

You want to work on open-source projects, you know C/C++ and multimedia interests you?

We work on numerous things from codecs, system integration to higher level bindings and even GUI. We work on ASM (x86 and ARM), C, C++, C#, Kotlin and Go.

We have openings for excellent developers who are calm enough to work in open source communities and that understand that optimizations are still doable in 2021 :)

Internships are also a possibility, though remote will be restricted to a compatible timezone.

Bonus if you are interested in wasm or ARM asm :)

Hi, I am highly interested for such position. I am currently pursuing masters in computer science in University of Central Florida and looking for full time opportunities. I have four years of experience in system engineering before coming into MS.

Does it make sense to apply from Switzerland? i.e. Paris tech salaries are stuck in 50k-70k afaik.

You think a french organisation will pay you more because you are not in France?

You think a consultant in Switzerland or US will bill you by bargain rate because you are in France?

If they were willing to pay so much over local market price they would find local employees. In a capitalist society a labor shortage only exists if the employer is not willing to pay enough.

That's not my experience and generally speaking, local FTE salaries vs consultant rates are different things.

Although, you might be right for this particular case.

Depends on how much "so much" is and what the work schedule is. I once had to prove to an over-zealous immigration official that in fact no one in Canada could be hired at any rational price to do the job I was arriving to do, given the schedule desired.

Sounds interesting but my time zone is West Africa, and I would like Intern position.

Doable.
