Descripción del empleo

Ubuntu Pro is a suite of specialist services provided by Canonical. Whether for enterprise customers deploying systems at scale or users seeking security patching for their personal Ubuntu LTS at home, the Ubuntu Pro Client is the command-line tool that manages these services.

This role requires quality-oriented software engineering in Python and a focus on software interoperability across various target releases and environments. Excellent Python skills are essential, with previous contributions to open source Python projects considered an advantage.

A personal interest in quality, edge cases, usability, documentation, and community coordination is important. The Pro client is used in environments ranging from mission-critical to hobbyist setups; candidates should be comfortable working with all end-user types and guiding engineering best practices accordingly.
