Job Details:

• Canonical has a large and rapidly growing kernel team that underpins Ubuntu and open source more widely across a very wide range of hardware and use cases. We partner with the biggest kernel contributors – the silicon companies – to ensure that their work reaches the widest possible audience as quickly as possible, with a 10 year enterprise security commitment.
• The Canonical Linux Kernel Organization has teams in every time zone. We have opportunities for technical leadership, engineering management, and engineering directorships.
• The team is responsible for all supported Ubuntu Linux kernels, on all platforms and architectures from small embedded devices to standard desktop/server systems to large scale cloud environments, mainframes and supercomputers.
• We care most about hardware and virtualization enablement, security, reliability and performance. There are a number of areas where we lead upstream, but for the most part we are interested in ensuring production readiness and performance for the latest patch-sets, rather than subsystem maintenance or evolution.
• Kernel Team projects include but are not limited to:
  • Ubuntu Linux kernel plan, execution, benchmarking and stress testing
  • Optimized kernels for key silicon and cloud partners
  • Confidential computing and next-generation security primitives
  • Developer platforms such as Raspberry Pi and RISC-V

• We hire candidates of all experience levels from recent university graduates through seasoned industry experts. We select those who are enthusiastic to work in multiple areas including security mitigation, feature development, patching and test. 
• You must have outstanding academic results, a background in software engineering, be motivated to work in a distributed team and willing to travel globally twice a year for company engineering events.
• Location: Working from home, worldwide.   We have kernel teams and openings in every time zone and – with the notable exception of Taipei, Taiwan – have no offices and therefore no pressure to work from an office.

Responsibilities
What the role entails:

• Collaborate regularly and proactively with a globally distributed team 
• Work closely with external silicon, cloud, or hardware manufacturer delivery teams on bleeding-edge platforms
• Diagnose and resolve issues in the kernel reported by customers, the community, and discovered by your own rigorous testing
• Take personal responsibility for the delivery of a flavour of the Ubuntu Linux kernel
• Improve tooling and automation for delivery and test of Ubuntu Linux kernels
• Submit, review, and apply kernel patches, working with both internal and external upstream maintainers

Job Requirements:

What we are looking for in you:

• Significant programming experience in C, with Python, Golang, or other like languages is also highly regarded
• Experience with operating system kernel internals and concepts, Linux would be highly regarded but not essential
• Solid background with git
• Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred) 
• Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills
• Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks each

Nice-to-have skills:

• Strong grasp of device drivers, BSP’s, and other low level system engineering
• Prior experience developing with software packaging formats, with direct Ubuntu/Debian/Snap experience being highly regarded

• Performance engineering and security experience
