Applicants should be ready to work with the community and help guide engineering best practices regardless of platform.

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate proactively with a distributed team
  • Write high quality code, with unit and functional tests, to create new features
  • Debug issues and produce high quality code to fix them
  • Review code produced by other engineers
  • Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions
  • Work from home with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events, when it is once again safe to do so

Who you are

  • You love technology and working with brilliant people
  • You are curious, flexible, articulate, and accountable
  • You value soft skills and are passionate, enterprising, thoughtful, and self-motivated
  • You have a Bachelor’s or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM or similar degree

  • You have interest and experience with two or more of the following: Ubuntu Linux – kernel or userspace, QEMU/KVM, LXC/LXD, Python, cloud computing, linux system fundamentals such as networking, storage, and security
  • Bonus points if you have experience provisioning and managing instances on one or more of the major public clouds.
  • Bonus points if you have experience driving an open source community

Canonical is proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and background lead to a better environment for our employees and a better platform for our users and customers.
