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 top public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders across sectors. The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.

Our mission is to reinvent how companies manage open source information systems—on public clouds and in data centers. We are building a community around Python opscode for open source applications on Kubernetes, aiming to transition all Canonical and Ubuntu IS onto this new open source codebase.

We believe we can significantly improve the experience of running complex business operations and help our customers adopt new techniques and products. We want to transform our IS team into an extension of our product engineering team, productizing workloads for real-time automated operations on Kubernetes.

This role is ideal for software engineers who enjoy Python, have a passion for distributed systems, and an interest in the Linux stack—from kernel to networking, virtualization, and containers. It requires rigor in coding and customer interactions. Our engineers are open source enthusiasts excited about cloud computing and delivering world-class services.

Key requirements include strong Python skills and familiarity with Kubernetes. You will collaborate with other teams to ensure reliable, efficient operation of products at scale, adhering to best practices in software architecture, testing, and documentation.

What you'll do
  1. Design and deliver open source software operations code in Python
  2. Work across the Linux stack, from kernel to applications
  3. Focus on application and infrastructure reliability
  4. Contribute to open source monitoring and alerting infrastructure
  5. Simplify open source operations for customers and the community
  6. Apply sound engineering design and testing principles
  7. Follow agile development practices
  8. Mentor colleagues and foster a collaborative engineering culture
  9. Work remotely with occasional global travel for events
Who you are
  1. Passionate about technology and working with talented people
  2. Hold a Bachelor's or equivalent in Computer Science or STEM
  3. Experienced with Linux system administration and operations
  4. Hands-on experience with at least one public cloud
  5. Familiar with Docker and Kubernetes
  6. Proficient in Python and enjoy challenging projects
  7. Committed to designing reliable software
  8. Organized with a focus on delivering high-quality software on time
