The Role

You'll join our dedicated Core Desktop team to build the next-generation immutable Ubuntu desktop. This project combines the best ideas of immutable Linux with the latest Linux desktop experience, aiming to put Linux desktops back at the forefront of security, reliability, and usability.

Our goal is to create a better platform for innovation, combining the strengths of Linux with modern user experiences. You'll work closely with experienced team members to shape the future of Ubuntu's Core Desktop.

  • Contribute to documentation to aid in your learning and that of future team members.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve user-reported issues, gaining experience in debugging and problem-solving.

What We Are Looking For

We seek individuals with outstanding academic results and a passion for technology. An undergraduate degree in a technical subject or an alternative chosen path is essential.

Key skills include:

  • Linux containerization technologies - kernel namespaces, cgroups, apparmor, or seccomp.
  • Linux desktop environments - XDG portals, free desktop specifications, systemd, GRUB, etc.
  • C/C++, Go, Python, and Shell scripting.
  • Good communication skills for both internal and external interactions.
