Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Overview

Senior Site Reliability Engineer role at Canonical. Globally remote role. Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems; our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in enterprise initiatives across public cloud, data science, AI, engineering, IoT, and more. We are founder-led, profitable and growing, with a distributed team working across 75+ countries.

We are hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer. Our Next-gen operations use pure Python infra-as-code to manage infrastructure from bare metal to containers and applications, aiming to perfect enterprise infrastructure devops. We run hundreds of private cloud, Kubernetes, and application clusters for customers across physical and public cloud estates, and we are raising the bar on automation by embracing a universal operator pattern and model-driven operations. Location : globally remote.

What the role entails

• Our cloud operations engineers bring Python software-engineering skills and rigour to the operations domain. We practise devsecops from bare metal to application. We architect and run OpenStack, Kubernetes and software defined storage, and we enable devsecops for applications running on that infrastructure too.
• To succeed in this role you need to believe in automation as a pure software engineering problem, not a hack-it-till-it-works-for-me problem. You should be interested in a scientific approach to operations at scale, driven by metrics and code, and you should be able to learn the entire stack—from bare metal networking and kernel up to serverless and open source applications.
• As a member of the team you will gain experience in a broad range of cloud technologies and stay current with the latest capabilities in open source infrastructure as the state of the art evolves.
