About Us
Canonical is a leading tech firm that has been at the forefront of the global move to open source since its inception in 2004. As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud, we are changing the world on a daily basis.
We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company. We expect excellence in order to succeed; we need to be the best at what we do.
The Role
We're looking for a highly skilled Software Engineer to join our Core Desktop team. As a member of this dedicated team, you'll play a crucial role in building the next generation of immutable Ubuntu desktop. Our goal is to put Linux desktops back at the forefront of security, reliability, and usability.
You'll combine the best ideas of immutable Linux with the latest Linux desktop experience to bring our global ecosystem of developers a much better platform for innovation. You'll work with the latest Linux container technologies - kernel namespaces, cgroups, apparmor, seccomp, and more.
Your Responsibilities
- Design and develop elements of the Core Desktop.
- Work with the latest Linux container technologies - kernel namespaces, cgroups, apparmor, seccomp, and more.
- Write high-quality, defensive, and performant code for millions of demanding daily users.
- Collaborate with team members to understand the intricacies of immutable desktops.
- Participate in code reviews to gain a deep understanding of quality standards and architecture.
- Engage with the Ubuntu community to gather user feedback and insights.
- 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're Looking For
We're looking for an individual with outstanding academic results and an undergraduate degree in a technical subject or a compelling narrative about their alternative chosen path. They should have an understanding of software development methodologies and life cycles, as well as a passion for technology and a drive to work with intelligent, motivated colleagues.
A willingness to learn and adapt, with a keen interest in the challenges of immutable desktop environments, is essential. The ideal candidate will have skills in Linux containerization technologies - kernel namespaces, cgroups, apparmor, or seccomp - and Linux desktop environments - XDG portals, free desktop specifications, systemd, GRUB, etc.
Strong communication skills for both internal and external interactions are required. Ability to travel twice a year for company events up to two weeks long is also necessary.
