As a Senior SRE & GitOps engineer, you'll drive operations automation to the next level, both in our private clouds and in public clouds, utilizing open source infrastructure as code software, CI/CD practices, and Canonical’s leading automation products.

You will also provide feedback to developers on product operation at scale, contribute to bug reports and pull requests, and collaborate on design and implementation within the company.

You will be part of a global team of SREs supporting services for our company, customers, and the Ubuntu community.
