Are you looking for your first open source experience in a professional environment? If so, we invite you to apply to the 2026 Coding Experience (CE) Program. This year, we are accepting candidates to participate on one of the following five areas: Linux Packaging, Graphics, JavaScript DevTools, Multimedia and GStreamer, and Web Standards.

CE participants receive financial compensation of €7,000 for 450 hours of work time over a period of either 3 or 6 months, on a schedule that works best for you. Each CE participant is mentored by one of Igalia’s outstanding open source contributors, and acquire knowledge and skills that will benefit them well beyond the program. The Coding Experience is remote-friendly, in keeping with Igalia’s fully-remote structure.

Applicants to the program can be students enrolled in an official education program, such as a college degree program, or can be students in alternative learning itineraries (e.g., self-learning). The CE program is also open to people who are in a later stage of their professional career, do not have experience working in tech fields, and are willing to refocus.

Igalia welcomes all applicants regardless of their age, disability, gender, race, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, or any other marginalized identity. Due to our strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, we would like to expressly invite individuals from underrepresented communities in our industry to apply.

The application period is open through April 3rd, 2026, with applicants being informed of their acceptance status by mid-May. If you’re interested in learning more about the Coding Experience program or you are ready to apply, please visit the Igalia Coding Experience page.
