At Canonical, we're a leading provider of open-source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. We have customers in 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.

We are looking for an experienced professional to work in a dynamic and exciting engineering role in Linux-based infrastructure and applications, covering all layers of the stack, including bare metal, virtualization (KVM), containerization (Docker/LXC/LXD), storage (Ceph and Linux filesystems), networking (OVS, OVN and Core networking), OpenStack, Kubernetes and the open source applications running on top of them.

This role involves troubleshooting and driving issues to resolution with workarounds, guidance, and bug fixes to be released upstream and in Ubuntu. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in computer science, experience with Linux and open source software, and proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, C or C++ on Linux.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build a career with us and drive success for our customers, community and the company. If you have a passion for Linux and open source, great communication skills, and a drive to learn and grow, then you will enjoy working with us.

Key responsibilities include resolving complex customer problems related to Ubuntu, Kernel, Ceph, OpenStack, or Kubernetes and other open source software, maintaining close working relationships with our Field, Support and product engineering teams, participating in upstream communities, developing bug fixes, backporting patches, and working with upstream for inclusion, reviewing code produced by other engineers, demonstrating good judgment in technical methods and techniques, prioritizing work and managing your time effectively against those priorities, participating in team discussions to improve processes, tools, and documentation, and maintaining clear, technical and concise communications.

What We Are Looking For
  • An exceptional academic track record
  • Background in Computer Science, STEM or similar
  • Experience with Linux and open source software
  • Experience with at least one of Python, Go, C or C++ on Linux
Benefits
  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme & Wellness Platform
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues
  • Priority Pass and travel upgrades for long-haul company events
