Job Description:

We're enabling high-performing, rock-solid MongoDB deployments on any cloud or platform our customers choose. We want to create the world's best open source analog to MongoDB Atlas or Amazon DocumentDB, which can be owned, controlled, and operated by end-users on their own multi-cloud or on-premise environments.

Canonical is looking for an experienced Python developer with a background in MongoDB who will help us build a fully managed MongoDB solution based on Juju. We're aiming to build the most reliable and secure way to deploy and operate MongoDB on machines, VMs, public cloud, and Kubernetes. The MongoDB team is small, meaning you will be a key contributor with a significant impact on the product and the broader ecosystem.

Who you are

• You love technology and working with brilliant people.
• You are an accomplished senior Python programmer who enjoys challenging projects in mission-critical environments.
• You have experience operating and managing MongoDB clusters.
• You are experienced with modern infrastructure deployment automation or traditional Linux systems administration, operations, and package management.
• You are passionate about quality and automatic testing.

Work with industry pioneers in open source alongside intelligent engineers at all levels from engineer to CTO and CEO. At Canonical, we've cultivated a remote-first culture since our inception. Enjoy a competitive salary, the flexibility to work and live where you wish, and the chance to work exclusively on impactful open source projects.
