Overview
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 founder-led, profitable, and growing, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles.
Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
We are hiring a Go (Golang) Software Engineer, Developer Tooling and Containers to work on a new open-source developer experience tool.
We are rethinking developer workflows to preserve what people love about traditional Linux while enabling more efficient work in immutable distro environments, as well as with remote cloud resources.
You'll join a product that is deeply and securely integrated with Ubuntu desktop, modern IDEs, and SDKs from publishers like NVIDIA, Intel, AMD and others.
Our goal is to free developers from the hours of tedious environment setup across robotics, MLOps, and IoT.
Help us make Ubuntu the greatest platform for software engineers!
