Software Developers

Mixxx is written in C++ and uses the Qt platform library for most data structures, graphics drawing, and window handling. Fortunately, Qt is easy to use and very well documented, so you don't need any prior Qt or audio programming experience to start hacking on Mixxx.

Besides creating cool DJ software and working with a fun team, contributing to Mixxx also looks great on your resume or CV. It's also an ideal way to learn about real-time audio programming, Qt, or even just hone your C++ skills.
