Overview

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 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 built on global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few roles based in offices. 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 Solutions Architect for Automotive to help our partners (companies like Mercedes, Ford, GM, Elektrobit, Intel, Nvidia, Google, Dell, HP, Accenture, Tata and the like) and prospects understand and embrace our open source platform for themselves and their customers.

Our worldwide field engineering team applies expert insights to real-world customer problems, enabling the enterprise adoption of Ubuntu, OpenStack, Kubernetes, AI/MLOps and a wide range of associated technologies. We are experts in the whole open source stack, from kernel to desktop, from cloud to embedded. We continue to expand our range of offerings to bring our security, management and developer experience to the smallest Linux environments and devices. Our team is also interested in business problems — building things reliably, efficiently and cost-effectively, and we learn to speak the language of our customers and their industries.

Beyond an expected Automotive expertise, this opportunity requires a unique blend of skills. Successful candidates will know Linux well and be proficient coders and scripters. They will have experience of low-level Linux boot, BIOS, firmware and embedded software development methodologies. They also enjoy the pace of change and diversity of client engagements with driven and ambitious technology entrepreneurs. Competitive, business-focused technologists at heart, they are also dedicated team players that take pride in team and company wins.

We often say that our field engineers have the "hardest job" at Canonical because customers can ask about any aspect of our solutions and products and expect a thoughtful, well-informed answer. We always want to do the best thing for our partners and customers, regardless of our company interests, and field engineers are the people we trust to ensure that is true.

Location: This is a home-based role, we are hiring worldwide.

What your day will look like

• Engage customers during presales to gather requirements and explain our technology
• Liaise with Canonical\'s experts (mastering the Cloud, Kubernetes, Security or Safety, etc) to aggregate our collective knowledge into comprehensive solutions for our prospective clients
• Participate in the delivery of select projects related to Embedded Linux, including demos and PoCs
• Convey market requirements to key stakeholders in our organization, and sometimes participate in the development or refining of generic solutions to unlock market potential
• Be both a customer advocate and a trusted advisor to Canonical

If you have a passion for the latest open source technologies applied to Automotive, if you want to play an active role in building Software Defined Vehicles, if you are curious with a will to learn how to leverage and adapt Cloud technologies to the embedded world, you will love working at Canonical.

What we are looking for in you

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field
• Solid embedded Linux experience - Yocto or RTOS
• Fluency in Golang, Python, C, C++, or Rust

• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Interest in customer-facing engagement, including pitching, demonstrating and understanding customer environment and needs
• Result-oriented, ability to multi-task
• A personal drive to meet commitments
• An humble learner and quick study
• Relevant experience in the Automotive industry
• Willing to travel up to 30% of the time for customer meetings, company events, and conferences

Additional skills that you might also bring (but not mandatory)

• Experience with ISO26262 and/or ISO21434
• Experience with customer engagements

What we offer you

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.
