    • Mitigation of the latest security threats and exploits to the Linux kernel
    • Strong process automation as it pertains to the build, test, and delivery of the Linux kernel
  • Engagement with other teams at Canonical, the open source community and commercial partners
What we are looking for in you
  • Significant programming experience in C, with Python, Golang, or other similar languages
  • Substantial experience with operating system kernel internals and concepts; Linux experience is highly regarded but not essential
  • Demonstrated experience managing or leading a team of software engineers
  • Ability to coordinate between multiple distinct teams of differing technical focus to achieve common goals
  • Familiarity with version control practices, ideally with git
  • Prior experience developing with software packaging formats, with direct Ubuntu/Debian/Snap experience being highly regarded
  • Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills
  • Ability to travel internationally twice a year for company events up to two weeks long
Nice-to-have skills
  • Demonstrated experience with kernel patching and debugging
  • Strong grasp of device drivers, BSPs, and other low-level system engineering
  • Solid background in driving CI/CD and process automation initiatives
  • Prior public involvement with an open source project
What we offer colleagues

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually to 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 reflecting our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
