• Collaborate with internal teams and external contributors to define and refine technical specifications and system improvements.
• Contribute to operational excellence by improving engineering workflows, deployment processes, and system observability.
• In certain cases, deploy, monitor, and operate services owned by the team in production environments.
• Support product success through technical advocacy, documentation, and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

• Strong academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related STEM field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience designing and building production‑grade software in Golang, ideally in Linux‑based environments.
• Deep familiarity with Linux systems (Ubuntu or Debian preferred) and strong command of system‑level concepts.
• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, and scalable backend architectures (especially for senior‑level roles).
• Strong problem‑solving abilities, with a track record of delivering high‑quality work independently and on schedule.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate across global teams.
• Strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, curiosity, and a proactive, ownership‑driven mindset.
• Ability and willingness to travel internationally twice a year for team gatherings.
• Nice to have: experience with Ubuntu ecosystem tools such as Juju, LXD, MicroK8s, Snapd, Ubuntu Core, or Ubuntu Pro; performance tuning and security expertise.

Benefits

• Competitive global compensation benchmarked to experience, performance, and location.
• Performance‑based annual bonus or commission structure.
• Annual compensation reviews to recognize and reward contributions.
• Remote‑first work environment with distributed global teams.
• USD 2,000 annual learning and development budget.
• Generous annual leave plus maternity and paternity leave policies.
