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 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 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.
Canonical is looking for exceptional security-focused software engineers to be integrated across product teams. While they also contribute to the product as engineers, their primary focus is to challenge the entire team to think more deeply about security through state-of-the-art practices such as threat modeling, table-top exercises, architecture and design reviews, static analysis tools, and fuzzing, among others.
These roles encompass all aspects of product security, including feature development, vulnerability response, proactive security, and open source community participation. Engineers in these roles collaborate closely with other Canonical teams, customers, and partners across the open source ecosystem.
Each product engineering team at Canonical reserves one or two openings for security-oriented software engineers. We also develop a number of products driven entirely by security needs, such as our AppArmor kernel investments and the Ubuntu Security Guide (USG). As the publisher of Ubuntu, we also handle long-term security response for the entire operating system and open source ecosystem. Working with tens of thousands of upstreams means that we need to be fluent in every major programming language and design, build, and adopt sophisticated tools that enable us to work at scale and speed with confidence.
Apply here if you are an exceptional security-focused software engineer, passionate about open source, and excited by Canonical's products and mission.
This role requires the ability to be productive in a globally distributed team through strong self-discipline and motivation. It also involves mandatory international travel at least twice a year, typically for one week.

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

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
