  • Work from home with occasional travel (2–4 weeks per year).

What we are looking for in you

  • Proven track record of professional software delivery using Go.
  • Hands‑on experience developing highly concurrent distributed systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Exceptional academic background.
  • Experience with agile software development methodologies.
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events.
  • Additional skills that may bring value

  • Experience with container technologies (Docker, LXD, Kubernetes, etc.).
  • Experience in C, C++, Rust or other low‑level languages.
  • Strong networking background.
  • Experience in the Linux and open‑source software world.
  • Experience with configuration management (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.).
  • Working knowledge of cloud computing.
  • Passionate about software quality and testing.
  • Experience with packaging (Debian, snaps).
  • Programming with and operating SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Experience on distributed open‑source team contributions.
  • Demonstrated open‑source contribution record.
  • Prior experience developing Terraform plugins.
  • What we offer you

  • Distributed work environment with twice‑yearly in‑person team sprints.
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year.
  • Annual compensation review.
  • Recognition rewards.
  • Annual holiday leave.
  • Maternity and paternity leave.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations.
  • Priority Pass for long‑haul company events.
  • About Canonical
