You'll work closely with other teams in Canonical to ensure your products operate reliably, efficiently and scale to production sized workloads for our customers looking to adopt cutting-edge technology. Strong Python development skills and familiarity with Kubernetes are key requirements of this role. Our engineers are technically astute open source enthusiasts who are excited about cloud computing and are ready to join a global team charged with delivering world class services to our customers. It is a role that requires rigour in both code and customer interactions. This role is ideal for software engineers who enjoy Python, have a passion for distributed systems, and an interest in the entire Linux stack - from kernel to networking to virtualization and containers. This team will productise those workloads for real-time automated operations on Kubernetes. Our internal workloads are in many cases the same open source workloads that our customers want to operate. We would like to transform our IS team into an extension of the product engineering capability at Canonical. Traditionally, IS is an inward-facing operation. We are confident that we can dramatically improve the experience of running complex business operations - and then we can help our customers embrace those new techniques and products. We want to move all of Canonical and Ubuntu IS onto this new, open source codebase. To achieve that we are building a new community around Python opscode for open source applications, running on Kubernetes. Our mission is to reinvent the way companies manage their open source information systems - on public clouds and in their own data centres.
