Work on mission-critical Golang code, focused on software delivery, containers, security sandboxing, telemetry, and device management, as a software engineer on our SnapD team.

Snaps are next-generation software packaging and delivery for Linux.

Our goal is that snaps work across multiple Linux flavors to ensure that publishers have the simplest way to reach the whole Linux world.

This role requires an obsession with quality and performance, for work at the heart of the operating system. It also requires an interest in the software publishing and consumption experience. Applicants should be passionate about open source software development. We value collaboration, peer reviews, good unit/integration testing, and maintainable code. General knowledge and experience with Linux as a developer platform is required. Having previous experience with Golang is very nice to have.

  2. Write high-quality code to create new features
  3. Debug Linux system-level issues and produce high-quality code to fix them
  4. Review code produced by other engineers
  5. Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions
  6. Obsess over how to achieve robustness despite unexpected events like power outages
  7. Work from home with global travel for up to two weeks, twice a year
Who you are
  1. You love technology and working with brilliant people
  2. You are curious, flexible, articulate, and accountable
  3. You value soft skills, are thoughtful and self-motivated
  4. You have a Bachelor's or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM, or a similar degree
  5. You have professional software development experience using Go, Python, C, or C++
