Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Overview

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 enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. The company is a pioneer of global 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. The company is founder led, profitable and growing.

We are hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer. Location : Globally remote role.

Responsibilities

• 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 the 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.
• To become a member of this team, you need to be a software engineer fluent in Python, have a genuine interest in the full open source infrastructure stack from metal to containers, and be able to work in a high pressure operations environment 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 and stay current with the latest capabilities in open source infrastructure, while upgrades are driven to keep customers on the latest, best solutions.
