Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets.

Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders across 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.

This is an exciting opportunity for an exceptional software engineer passionate about open source software, Linux, and Web Services at scale. Join Canonical to build a rewarding, meaningful career working with the best and brightest in technology.
Canonical's Store team develops and operates a large system of backend services powering the Snap Store and Charmhub.io marketplaces. Our services are primarily built in Python, with some Golang.
Upcoming challenges include scaling our production architecture, expanding the software range delivered through our marketplaces, and enhancing our offerings for IoT and large Enterprise solutions.

- Write clean web service APIs to support CLI and web frontend clients, using Python (and optionally Golang).
- Design and implement new features and enhancements from spec to production, and oversee ongoing operations at scale.
- Review code and technical designs produced by other engineers.
- Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions.
- Work remotely with global travel for 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events.
- You have demonstrated professional proficiency in developing public-facing APIs and web applications using Python.

- You have demonstrated strong academic performance in Computer Science, STEM, or a similar degree.
