Our customers include 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.

We are hiring a C++/Rust Graphics and Windowing System Software Engineer.
We build Mir – a high-performance, high-efficiency technology stack for window managers, display subsystems and solutions built on top of it, like Ubuntu Frame. Leading with vision, we shape the technology stack that empowers communities to realize a world where apps work seamlessly in every graphical environment.
Our goal is to enable the whole spectrum of graphics from single-purpose screens through edge devices to full desktop environments. We also set the pace for graphics enablement across the Ubuntu certified hardware ecosystem. Our daily drill includes design, development and testing of features as well as working with the community and responding to issues and user inquiries.
Most of the software is written in C++, with support tooling in scripting languages. We will use Rust as an evolutionary step forward. Thus candidates are required to have strong skills in both Rust and C++. We're growing the team and looking for new colleagues who share our passion for precision, performance and user experience. We are hiring on various career levels with a minimum of 2 years industry experience. We are looking for people who ideally have experience in building window compositing systems or graphics device experience. We're committed to creating an outstanding developer experience, secure foundations, and easy access to today's most used graphics toolkits and libraries.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to have a meaningful impact on modern display technologies that will impact millions of developers and users. Canonical offers a fast-paced team environment and a career full of learning and development opportunities across the open source spectrum.
Location: This role will be based remotely in the EMEA or APAC region.
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 recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. 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.
Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source. 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 of software. 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.
