Descripción del empleo

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is 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 1,200+ 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 junior engineers to work across the breadth of our Ubuntu Engineering organisation – engineers who care deeply for quality, performance and resilience in software, who are just as comfortable designing and engineering new software as they are packaging, integrating, testing and shipping the incredible catalog of open source software provided by the Ubuntu repositories.

Our engineers integrate the freshest open source software, provide robust upgrade paths and engineer the future of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not just the world’s most deployed open source operating system, it’s a platform that enables innovation for millions of users across the globe.

The four key teams that ship Ubuntu are:

• Foundations: maintaining foundational software – architectures, package managers, compilers, toolchains, bootloaders, filesystems and core utilities
• Server: leading the design, evolution and future of our Ubuntu Server distribution
• Desktop: driving Ubuntu Desktop, our future immutable desktop – Ubuntu Core Desktop, WSL, gaming technology, and a suite of modern applications for the desktop crafted with Flutter
• Debcrafters: a new team responsible for the forward movement, maintenance and overall health of the Ubuntu archive – one of the most abundant repositories of open source software available today

Bring your existing expertise and learn new skills by working on one of the most prolific pieces of open source software. As an engineer working on Ubuntu you could work on any or all of the following categories:

• Development: design, build and ship new foundational systems software and applications in Rust, Go, Flutter, and Python
• Architecture: engineer the integration of open source from boot firmware to cloud applications deployment
• Packaging: a combination of Debian and Snap packaging to ship software in the distribution
• Automation: build and maintain the machinery responsible for building, testing and shipping Ubuntu
• Distro Engineering: the maintenance and evolution of a Linux distribution and its repositories

The role entails

Based on the first round of interviews, we identify specific teams where you might be an excellent fit and conduct second‑round interviews with those teams. Our engineers are:

• Designing, building and shipping software in Rust, Go, Python and C/C++
• Packaging, integrating, testing and uploading open source software to the Ubuntu repositories
• Debugging issues, then designing and delivering robust solutions
• Authoring and improving technical and community documentation
• Contributing to upstream and neighboring open source projects
• Collaborating as part of a globally distributed
• Continuously learning and progressing their technical and professional skills

What we are looking for in you

• An exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
• Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about an alternative path
• Drive and a track record of going above and beyond expectations
• A passion for open source software
• Experience with Rust, Go, Python, Flutter or C/C++
• Professional written and spoken English
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks each

Nice‑to‑have skills

• Familiarity with Linux distributions
• Familiarity with system debugging tools and techniques
• Familiarity with automation tooling and CI/CD systems
• Experience contributing to open source projects

What we offer you

• Distributed work environment with twice‑yearly team sprints in person
• Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
• Annual compensation review
• Recognition rewards
• Annual holiday leave
• Maternity and paternity leave
