Software Engineer - Python and K8s

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT.

Our mission is to reinvent the way companies manage their open source information systems - on public clouds and in their own data centers. To achieve that we are building a new community around Python opscode for open source applications, running on Kubernetes.

This role is ideal for software engineers who enjoy Python, have a passion for distributed systems, and an interest in the entire Linux stack - from kernel to networking to virtualization and containers. It is a role that requires rigor in both code and customer interactions.

Strong Python development skills and familiarity with Kubernetes are key requirements of this role. You'll work closely with other teams in Canonical to ensure your products operate reliably, efficiently and scale to production sized workloads for our customers looking to adopt cutting-edge technology.

The role entails :

• Work in Python to design and deliver open source software operations code
• Work across the entire Linux stack, from kernel, networking, storage, to applications
• Learn to think rigorously about application and infrastructure reliability
• Shape high quality open source monitoring and alerting infrastructure
• Simplify open source operations for our customers and open source community
• Demonstrate sound engineering design and testing principles in your code
• Follow agile software development practices
