Senior Windows C/C++ Engineer

“New announcements regarding new DisplayLink products are coming in at a fairly alarming rate, and I must say, this is one of the few technologies out now that deserves all the attention its getting.” – Slashgear.com - March 7, 2008

We're urgently looking for great user mode and kernel mode device driver developers to join us in our mission of enabling plug and play displays.

Do you...

• Push the language features of C/C++ to the limits?
• Spend the time to learn how it all works, down to the metal?
• Browse MSDN just to see what new API goodies are there?
• Keep up on open source and non-Microsoft technologies?
• Have the discipline to write docs and tests alongside your features?
• Know how to write code that is bullet-proof for any input?
• But also have good instincts for when to just keep things simple and fast?

If so, we want to offer a challenge: Come help us make displays, docking stations, picture frames, etc. do amazing things that never seemed possible before.

We need top-notch, experienced driver developers who know WDM, WDF, and/or WDDM and have a portfolio of device driver projects they can talk about. And because the world of device programming has now come to user-mode with new frameworks like Windows UMDF, Linux LibUSB, and others – we also need simply great C/C++ engineers who would love to dive into the world of devices.

DisplayLink is a fabless semiconductor company, formed in 2003 to bring plug and play displays to the masses. We create graphics controllers and the software to run them, connected over standard interfaces like USB, ethernet, and UWB. We work on software for Windows, Mac, Linux, and more.

We've opened an office in the Seattle area (Bellevue, WA) and want you to come join our team here or at our main office (Cambridge, UK).  Must be willing to relocate.

Why you should join:
• Pre-IPO hardware start-up
• Major design wins and lots of products on the market
• Great team. We're here to build amazing things, and have fun doing it.

Essential attributes:
• Strong C/C++
• A mix of WDM, WDF, WDDM, and/or Win32 experience
• Embedded or device driver experience


Desirable attributes:
• COM and CLR experience
• Graphics (2D/3D/Video) experience
• Good communication (evidence of technical blogging, etc.)
• Great portfolio (open source projects to point at, etc.)
• Team leadership experience
• Familiarity with TDD, Scrum, other Agile methodologies
