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 enterprise initiatives across public cloud, data science, AI, engineering, and IoT. Our customers include leading public cloud and silicon providers and industry leaders in many sectors. The company operates with a global, distributed workforce and teams meet in person 2 to 4 times per year in locations around the world to align on strategy and execution. Canonical is founder-led, profitable, and growing.

This is an exciting opportunity for an exceptional software engineer passionate about open source software, Linux, and Web Services at scale. You will join Canonical’s Store team, which develops and operates a large system of backend services powering the Snap Store and Charmhub.io marketplaces. Our services are built primarily in Python, with some Golang.

We face exciting challenges, including scaling production architecture, expanding the range of software we deliver through the system powering our marketplaces, and enhancing our offering for IoT and large Enterprise solutions. If you have a passion for clean APIs, a bias toward shipping, and believe automated tests are key to higher velocity and reliability, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll do

• Collaborate remotely with a globally distributed team.
• Write clean web service APIs to support both CLI and web frontend clients, using Python (and optionally Golang).
• Design and implement new features and enhancements from spec to production and ongoing operations at scale.
• Review code and technical designs produced by other engineers.
• Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions.
• Work remotely with global travel for 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events.
