  • Work from home with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events

  • 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 experience with Python

  • You have interest and experience with two or more of the following:Ubuntu Linux - kernel or userspace, Kubernetes, OpenStack, Ceph, AI/ML, QEMU/KVM, LXC/LXD, Python, Go, C, Postgresql, Mongo, Debian packaging, scalable web services

  • You have experience with non-x86 architectures, including s390, arm64, power and others

  • You have experience with OpenStack, OVN, Openvswitch and other related cloud technologies

What Canonical Offers

  • Learning and Development

  • Annual Compensation Review

  • Recognition Rewards

  • Priority Pass for travel

  • Flexible working option
