Snapcraft enables developers to deliver app updates to millions of Linux systems automatically, supporting thousands of applications from over a thousand developers, including Spotify, Slack, and Microsoft.

Charmcraft facilitates collaboration among charmed operator developers and publication on Charmhub, allowing packaging of databases, caches, observability tools, and more, integrated from Day 0 to Day 1000 and beyond.

  • Strong understanding of modern GNU/Linux distributions.
  • Knowledge of build systems and toolchains, including cross-compilation.
  • Experience with container technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and LXD.
  • Ability to extend the snap build ecosystem using various languages, frameworks, and CI systems.
  • Experience working with open source and commercial projects to better serve community needs.
What we offer you
  • Fully remote working environment — we've been remote since 2004.
  • Personal learning and development budget of $2,000 USD annually.
  • Annual compensation review.
  • Recognition rewards, annual holiday leave, parental leave, and Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Opportunities to travel for team sprints and company events.
