Canonical delivers open source software to millions of Linux, Windows, and Mac machines through Ubuntu and the wider Canonical ecosystem. We are expanding our scope to help developers ship their software efficiently to clouds and IoT devices.

Success in this role requires an interest in packaging formats, build systems, and automation to simplify software deployment for a broad audience.

Our team designs and maintains Python tools supporting the developer build and publication process. We are responsible for tooling that builds snaps, charms, and recently, rocks (OCI images).

Snapcraft enables developers to deliver app updates to millions of Linux systems automatically, removing the complexity of supported releases and installation instructions. It supports applications from over a thousand developers, including Spotify, Slack, and Microsoft.

Similarly, Charmcraft facilitates collaboration among charmed operator developers and publication on Charmhub, the home of the Charmed Operator Collection. Charmed Operators help package software like databases, caches, and observability tools, enabling scalable operations from Day 0 to Day 1,000, and beyond.
