Linux Developer Experience Lead

Canonical Ubuntu is focused on developer experience to enable brilliant people all over the world to create next-generation software from cloud to edge. It is a central part of our mission to speed up the pace of innovation in all fields, by making open source easier to build, share and consume. In this new initiative, we want to raise the bar substantially on the speed and clarity of specialised software development which depends on large numbers of libraries and tools which need to be available to developers in a consistent fashion.

Applicants should be passionate about the future of container technology, software engineering, and open source. Canonical is a globally distributed team of engineers who share that passion. Engineers who thrive at Canonical are mindful of open source community dynamics, and equally aware of the needs of large enterprise customers.
