Linux Devices Software Engineer
This role is one of our general tracks. Apply here for all engineering teams at Canonical who work on low-level system technology on autonomous devices across all seniority levels. We hire careful and conscientious engineers who appreciate the challenge of memory, performance, battery and connectivity constrained code that has to work every time in an unreliable and unforgiving world, on x86, ARM or RISC-V silicon. Canonical Ubuntu is the leading Linux for software engineers, desktops, cloud and IoT. We bring open source to the world as a high-performance, safe and secure platform for enterprise computing, software engineering, and connected devices. These smart, connected devices have the potential to transform every industry. Classic Ubuntu – desktop or server – is widely used in embedded systems because of its developer focus and enterprise grade security maintenance. We partner with the world's most prominent silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu on their latest and greatest chips, as well as with major OEMs and ODMs (PC, servers and connected device manufacturers) to ensure that Ubuntu works perfectly on their hardware. But while classic, ‘deb’ based Ubuntu is ideal for developers, it has too much variability for appliance or connected device environments, where you want to know *exactly* what the state of millions or billions of devices might be. So Canonical builds Ubuntu Core, a fully containerised version of Ubuntu that is mathematically precise and rigorously secure. We are working on additional solutions for even smaller devices. We have several teams that focus on open source for embedded environments. We hire outstanding Linux software engineers with a passion for open source, innovation, cutting-edge hardware and software technologies in general. You will be expected to make significant contributions through high-quality design and code, and to develop your technical leadership. These roles include: - Ubuntu Core and snapd software development - Silicon software and optimisation engineers - Kernel driver and hardware enablement engineers - Hardware-centric Linux QA Engineers - Hardware Certification Engineers - Robotics engineers - Industrial IoT software engineers - Networking software engineers (switching, routing, access and SmartNICs) At Canonical you will have the opportunity to engage with the broader open source community. We're looking for individuals who can help build a thriving community, contribute to a broad range of technologies, and contribute to the deployment of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core across the widest range of devices. Location: we have remote roles open in every time zone. What your day will look like Based on the first round of interviews we identify specific teams where you might be an excellent fit, and conduct second round interviews with those teams. Our engineers: - Work with the latest Linux kernel and open source technologies - Deliver Ubuntu for the latest IoT and server-class hardware platforms - Integrate and maintain device-oriented software stacks - Write high-quality, well-designed software - Collaborate proactively with other globally distributed teams - Display technical leadership internally and within our external communities - Help our customers ship their apps and SDKs on Ubuntu - Build device OS images with Ubuntu Core, Desktop and Server - Optimise the Ubuntu kernel and libraries for silicon-specific capabilities - Debug issues and produce high-quality code to fix them - Contribute to technical documentation to make it the best of its kind - Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions - Participate as technical lead on complex customer engagements involving complete system architectures from cloud to edge - Work usually from home, with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for company events What we are looking for in you - An exceptional academic track record from both high school and university - Drive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectations - Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative path - Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred) - Passion for Linux or embedded systems software (e.g. kernel, graphics, Yocto) - Fluency in at least one of Golang, C, C++, or Rust - Professional written and spoken English - Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability - Passion, thoughtfulness, and self-motivation - Excellent communication and presentation skills - Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments - Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks each Additional skills that you might also bring - Experience with Debian/Ubuntu or other distro packaging - Understanding of build systems and toolchains, including for cross-compilation - Experience with firmware, uboot, UEFI, ACPI, DSDT, or boot loaders - Experience with power management on PCI ASPM, SATA ALPM, low power profiles - Computer architecture knowledge of x86, ARM, RISC-V - Experience in board design, bring up, and validation - Experience with electrical engineering design tools (e.g. schematic capture, layout) - Familiarity with Ubuntu development model - Performance engineering and security experience - Shell or Python scripting skills What we offer you We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.

Performance Engineer - Open Source
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 customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ 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 have created a new career path at Canonical for Performance Engineers who bring exceptional clarity to software performance, correctness and efficiency. We are adding these roles to every engineering team at the company. As an open source platform, we have teams that work at every level of the software stack - from the kernel up through server and desktop applications, all the way to the web. We are adding roles with this focus in every engineering team in the company, to act as drivers of performance engineering skills, tools, culture and insights to our entire product range . We have also created a central performance engineering team, where we will drive shared tools, dashboarding capabilities, measurement frameworks, analytical capabilities and skills. We call this career focus ' percorr ' because we have found that the same deep insights that enable sophisticated performance measurement and design also enable teams to improve their harnesses and frameworks for correctness. Understanding not only the application, but the runtime, the compiler, and the system, all the way down to the CPU, gives an engineer the ability to think creatively and with insight about the right things to measure, and the right ways to verify correctness. We have found that performance engineers will often improve the deepest and trickiest areas of our test harnesses, and unblock their teams to test and measure previously 'dark' aspects of their work. We also have teams that work with every major silicon vendor and cloud, with a particular emphasis on performance optimisation of the entire stack for that architecture, CPU family or hypervisor. Our goal is to ensure that Ubuntu users can select whatever platform they want for their workloads and know they have access to the very best performance and efficiency across the entire stack from kernel to codec. If they wish, we will enable performance and correctness engineers to move between products every two years, so that they have the opportunity to raise the bar for performance in an array of products over time, and also that teams have the benefit of fresh eyes on their processes, thinking, harnesses, dashboards and code. Our performance and correctness leads are expected to be truly exceptional individuals, and also leaders who are confident setting expectations of change, sharing insights and skills, running initiatives and programs. There is no way to move a meaningful codebase without also moving the people behind it. This is a career path for perfectionists and precision artists. Whether you have a particular language focus - C, C++, Rust, Golang, Python, Java, Flutter-Dart or others - or a particular love of the kernel or hardware or CPU instruction set, whether you see yourself as driving perceived user experience through performance or optimising the efficiency of data centers to reduce carbon footprint, this process is the best way to find a role at Canonical that speaks to your precision, rigour, insight and drive. Location : We have teams in every time zone, and can accommodate applications from almost any country. Nice-to-have skills we value - Low-level CPU insights and assembly language - understanding cache, registers, vectorization, memory - Kernel performance insights - scheduling, context switching, hardware acceleration - Distributed systems performance insights - tracing, debugging - Compiler level performance insights - profile guided optimization, inlining, assembler - Runtime performance insights - Golang, Python, JVM, NodeJS - Database performance evaluation - plans, indexing, data modelling, tracing, monitoring - Web browser performance insights - JS, web frameworks, tracing, CSS - Performance measurement tooling - profiling, eBPF, D-Trace, flamegraphs - Benchmarks and performance measurement tools - Phoronix Test Suite, others - Test harnesses and capabilities in C, C++, Rust, Python, Golang, NodeJS, JavaScript The role entails - Drive software performance and correctness in a specific project - Collaborate with colleagues and community around the globe - Work on shared tools and infrastructure for performance measurement, analysis and reporting - Teach, train and develop skills in your team for performance culture and design - Strengthen test capabilities, harnesses and pipelines - Analyze systems and code to understand performance and scalability - Solve problems directly or through influence, leadership and skills development - Review code and technical designs What we are looking for in you - Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university - Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics - Demonstrable personal initiatives to measure and improve performance, efficiency and correctness in code - Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation - Track record of going above-and-beyond expectations to achieve outstanding results - Leadership and commitment to skills development and mentorship - Passion for technology evidenced by personal projects and initiatives - The work ethic and confidence to shine alongside motivated colleagues - Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills - Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred) - Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability - Appreciative of diversity, polite and effective in a multi-cultural, multi-national organisation - Thoughtfulness and self-motivation - Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments - Ability to travel internationally twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long What we offer colleagues We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.
