Senior Windows Driver Developer

Helsinki, Finland
Founded in 2016, Varjo creates hardware and software to fulfil the vision of immersive computing. Their virtual and mixed reality products will transform the way professionals work, create and experience reality.
Your role as our Senior Windows Driver Developer will be to create that foundational data channel. You will be responsible for designing, writing and shipping our Windows-side drivers that support USB and PCIe among other technologies. Your focus will be on creating Windows drivers that are robust and have extremely low latency. Connecting things with custom drivers to Windows is something you have done multiple times to solve engineering challenges that default drivers simply cannot solve. 
Our developers, designers and HW engineers are world-class in what they do, and we want you to aim for the same level. 
This is a full-time position located in Helsinki, Finland. Commuting from other cities in Finland is a possibility we can discuss and support. We of course support relocation from outside of Finland to make your move to the happiest country in the world as smooth as possible.

  • Fluent in C/C++ and proven history of writing driver code which is modular, testable, maintainable and well documented. 6+ years of experience in the Windows driver domain.
  • Track record of shipping a Windows driver that has been built for mass produced devices and successfully worked for years in the field.
  • Deep knowledge of standard connectivity, cable and communication protocols such as USB and PCI-e.
  • History of working with low-level device documentation and translating that information to accurate and robust software solutions.
  • Knack to find reliable solutions and the persistence to polish drivers to the level of production quality.
