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 Software Engineer to work on Linux, cloud infrastructure, pipelines and automation, and open source software.

You will work closely with Amazon, Microsoft, Google and other world-class cloud partners to make Ubuntu the best platform there is in the clouds. Your time will be split between build system development (using Python, Jenkins and shell), implementation of cloud-related features within Ubuntu Server itself, operation of our continuous delivery pipelines, and direct partner engagement. You will strive to automate the delivery of existing and new Ubuntu products applied to all modern workloads from web servers to GPU-aided AI for servers, VM's and containers, and integrate our products with cloud native services.

Come build a rewarding, meaningful career working with the best and brightest people in technology at Canonical, a growing international software company. As a part of our team, you will combine software development skills with software and infrastructure delivery experience.

What the role entails

• Build automated, highly reliable image delivery, testing and publication pipelines
• Design, build and integrate new features and enhancements into Ubuntu that will support users of Ubuntu in public clouds
• Collaborate proactively with a distributed team
• Write high quality code to create new features
• Design and architect complex new systems and integrations with the clouds
• Debug issues and produce high quality code to fix them
• Review code produced by other engineers and participate in design discussions
• Work from home with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events
• Engage with many other teams at Canonical, as well as the open source community and commercial partners
  
  

What we are looking for in you

• You love technology and working with brilliant people
• You are curious, flexible, articulate, and accountable
• You value soft skills and are passionate, enterprising, thoughtful, and self-motivated
• You have a Bachelor's or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM or similar degree
• You have practical experience with public clouds
• You have interest and experience with at least 3 of the following: containers (docker, kubernetes, etc.), devops automation, open source projects, APIs, Linux systems administration, Python packaging, cloud-based applications
• at least experience in Python software development on Linux

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.

• Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
• Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
