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 such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. The company has 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries with very few office-based roles. We are founder-led, profitable, and growing. The role is a globally remote Site Reliability Engineer.
We deploy and run OpenStack, Kubernetes, storage solutions, and open source applications, applying DevOps practices. Our goal is to perfect enterprise infrastructure DevOps practices, raising the bar on automation by embracing a model-driven approach, whether on-premise or on public clouds. We run hundreds of private cloud environments, 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 achieve high-quality standards in our open source portfolio. Automation is approached as a software engineering problem, driven by metrics and code.
