Today I’m putting on a different hat and announcing that Techpaladin Software is hiring! Right now we’re looking for a software developer who loves KDE Plasma and wants to see it thrive and shine, with the passion and self-motivation to make that happen.
In this role, you would be working on topics related to KDE Plasma that Techpaladin’s clients want improved, such as general polish and QA, implementing new features, fixing specific bugs, working on private hardware-specific software that supports Plasma, backporting fixes, release management, and so on. It’s always KDE-related!
This is a fully remote contract position open to anyone in the world not living in a country sanctioned by the U.S. government (sorry, it’s just gotta be that …
Today I’m putting on a different hat and announcing that Techpaladin Software is hiring! Right now we’re looking for a software developer who loves KDE Plasma and wants to see it thrive and shine, with the passion and self-motivation to make that happen.

It’s always KDE-related!
This is a fully remote contract position open to anyone in the world not living in a country sanctioned by the U.S. government (sorry, it’s just gotta be that way for legal reasons). The start date is flexible and can be whenever you’re ready.
We have no lists of explicit qualifications, minimum years of experience, or formal education requirements. But working for Techpaladin might be a good fit the more this sounds like you:
- You’re a KDE contributor. Your profile page on https://invent.kde.org is more blue or purple than it is white, or at least it has been in the past. You’ve used and developed KDE Plasma, or related technologies (Qt, KDE apps and frameworks, C++, QML, etc).
- You’re a good communicator. Your “online voice” is gentle, not harsh. You’ve generally got a positive attitude. You keep on top of your email. You can handle working remotely in written and spoken English with a geographically distributed team split across 6 time zones.
- You’re a team player. You review other people’s merge requests and triage bug reports. You’re willing to work on what the clients want done. You accept decisions made in public with your input that nonetheless didn’t go your way.
Does this sound a bit like you? We’d love to hear from you at jobs@techpaladinsoftware.com (please don’t send anything clearly written by AI; it will be discarded immediately) with your resumé, KDE Invent profile, links to KDE-related projects you’re proud of, or anything else that seems relevant.
Looking forward to hearing from folks!
