Job Description

Overview

Join to apply for the Site Reliability Engineer role at Canonical

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 a pioneer of globally distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

We are hiring a Site Reliability Engineer. Our goal is to perfect enterprise infrastructure DevOps practices, raising the bar on what's possible with automation by embracing a model-driven approach, whether on-premise or on public clouds.

We run hundreds of private cloud, 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 ultimately achieve high-quality standards in our open source portfolio.

The role

We deploy and run OpenStack, Kubernetes, storage solutions, and open source applications, applying DevOps practices. To become a member of our team, you need to be a software engineer fluent in Python, you need a genuine interest in the full open source infrastructure stack from bare metal to containers, and you need the ability to work in operations with mission-critical services for global brand-name customers. As a member of the team, you will gain experience in a broad range of cloud technologies. We evolve our offerings as the state of the art improves, so you get to stay current with the latest capabilities in open source infrastructure.

Location: Globally remote role.

What we are looking for in you:

  • Degree in software engineering or computer science
  • Python software development experience
  • Operational experience in Linux environments
  • Experience with Kubernetes deployment or operations
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
  • Ability to travel internationally twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long

Bonus skills

  • Familiarity with OpenStack deployment or operations
  • Familiarity with public cloud deployment or operations
  • Familiarity with private cloud management

What we offer

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  • Every 6 months compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Employee Assistance Programs
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet your colleagues
  • Priority Pass and travel upgrades for long-haul company events
