Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of globally distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.
Our goal is to perfect enterprise infrastructure DevOps practices, raising the bar on what's possible with automation by embracing a model-driven approach, whether on-premise or on public clouds.
We run hundreds of private cloud, Kubernetes clusters, and applications for customers across both physical and public cloud estates. We identify and address incidents, monitor and observe applications, anticipate potential issues, and enable product refinement to ultimately achieve high-quality standards in our open source portfolio.
To succeed in this role, you need to have a strong background in Linux, Python, networking, and knowledge of how clouds work. Your work will encompass the entire stack, from bare-metal networking and kernel up to Kubernetes and open source applications. You can expect to be trained in our core technologies like OpenStack, Kubernetes, security standards, open source products like Kubeflow, Kafka, OpenSearch, databases, and many others.
Automation for us is a software engineering problem that we approach with a scientific mindset to bring operations at scale, driven by metrics and code.
