Working at KDAB

For over twenty years, KDAB’s employees have combined flexible working hours and fun, with helping customers to solve software challenges across desktop, embedded and mobile platforms. With thousands of customers, several on the fortune 500 list, KDAB has shown a profitable and stable growth since 1999.

In KDAB we value practical software development experience and skills higher than academic degrees. We strive to ensure equal treatment of all our employees regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality (as long as local labor laws permit us to employ you), political opinion (as long as it is within democratic bounds), or religion.

We offer:

• the opportunity to work on highly interesting software projects with extremely talented colleagues
• a fairly informal work environment where everybody can express their opinion freely and will be listened to
• flexible work hours
• competitive salaries and benefits
• regular opportunities to travel
• an equity sharing program (subject to eligibility)

Become an intern in KDAB

If you believe you have what it takes to work for KDAB, but don’t yet have much experience in the workforce to prove it, becoming an intern might be a way in for you.

As an intern at KDAB you will start by working on some of our in-house projects, which gives you a chance to demonstrate your capabilities and get to know how we work. Over time, you will likely move on to assist on actual projects with fellow KDABians.

In KDAB, we never employ interns just to get cheap labor. Instead, we wish to give talented young people a chance to grow and contribute to our strong, inspiring culture of software excellence.

To apply for internship email us, including a CV or cover letter about yourself.
