A leading open-source software company is seeking a Senior/Staff/Lead Engineer to join their team. In this remote role, you will oversee design and architecture decisions while crafting high-quality Python code. Responsibilities include mentoring engineers, resolving technical challenges, and ensuring the performance of a vital open-source platform. Ideal candidates have a solid background in Python development, familiarity with Ubuntu, and a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. This position offers a competitive salary and collaborative opportunities with top minds in technology.
Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.
We are hiring a Senior/Staff/Lead Engineer to join the Launchpad team and take the lead in shaping the future of open‑source collaboration.
Launchpad is a platform for managing open-source development projects. It includes code hosting and review, bug tracking, package building, translations, and other facilities used by free and open-source software developers.
As a senior or staff-level engineer passionate about Linux, web services, and scalable development platforms, you’ll have the opportunity to architect and refine a mature, Python‑driven system that supports major projects like Ubuntu. Your work will be instrumental in maintaining business‑critical services while driving innovation, whether by expanding package-building capabilities, enhancing developer workflows, or modernizing the web UI.
In this role, you’ll empower developers across the world by ensuring that Launchpad remains a well-structured, high‑velocity environment for open-source contribution. As part of Canonical’s globally distributed team, you’ll collaborate with some of the brightest minds in open-source technology, building essential infrastructure that enables the next generation of software development. If optimizing large‑scale projects, driving continuous improvement, and supporting developers excites you, this is the perfect opportunity to make a lasting impact.
Location: This is a remote role based in the EMEA region. Candidates will be expected to be located within this region.
We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source. As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open-source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud, we are changing the world of software. We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company. We expect excellence; in order to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do. Most colleagues at Canonical have worked from home since our inception in 2004. Working here is a step into the future and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.
Canonical is an equal opportunity employer
We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and background create a better work environment and better products. Whatever your identity, we will give your application fair consideration.
