  • Review code produced by other engineers and participate in design discussions
  • Work from home with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events
  • Engage with many other teams at Canonical, as well as the open source community and commercial partners

What we are looking for in you

  • 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 practical experience with public clouds
  • You have interest and experience with at least 3 of the following: containers (docker, kubernetes, etc.), devops automation, open source projects, APIs, Linux systems administration, Python packaging, cloud-based applications
  • at least experience in Python software development on Linux

What we offer colleagues

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
