    This must be the most horrid type of programming work available.

    First: You have to deal with Win32 APIs. Which, they’ve kept certain bugs because it break legacy programs.

    Second: You have to deal with game programmers. Which, program things in such a way that GPU driver programmers, have to write SPECIAL drivers, so that your game is treated the way these programmers THOUGHT it was supposed to work…

    I buy a license for Crossover every year to support Codeweavers. I know its not much but its what I can do to show my support for such an amazing software (talking about WINE).

    It’s great to see they are hiring, but I do hope they arent being rash with these openings. Ive work my fair share of tech companies and some have a culture to open positions because of KPIs and then 6 months to a year later have a massive layoff because they were completely off with their projections so now they have to cut positions which include some of the people hired well before the hiring bananza.

    Doesn’t look like they really want to pay 'em

    Edit: there’s no salary listed, y’all. Don’t put up with that shit.

      First sentence “… they are looking to hire multiple Wine developers to join their paid team…”.

          I’ve not seen a salary listed on a tech job in my entire career. From knowledge, CodeWeavers pay around $80K to $130K depending on experience and responsibility. Could be different now though.

            It was different before the dark times, and it’s different again. Several states, including CA, passed laws requiring salary ranges to be listed. Technically, CodeWeavers is in violation of a few state laws by advertising remote work.

            Also, a $130k cap is hilariously low.
