  • Contribute to Ubuntu mainline and upstream projects to land solutions and benefit the community
  • Communication and collaboration within and outside Canonical to identify opportunities to improve our security posture, rapidly resolve issues, and deliver high-quality solutions on schedule
What we are looking for in you

  • Excellent software engineering fundamentals, including prior experience with C development, and the ability to demonstrate such
  • Hands-on experience with Linux system administration and shell scripting
  • Demonstrated knowledge of security and cryptography fundamentals + direct experience writing secure code and implementing best practices
  • Significant development experience working with open source libraries
  • Excellent verbal and written communications to enable efficient collaboration with internal and external partners in a remote-first environment
Additional skills that you might also bring
  • Prior experience working on FIPS/Common Criteria certified products and in-depth knowledge of the underlying standards
  • Prior experience working directly with DISA-STIG or CIS benchmarks, including related audit + remediation tooling (e.g. Compliance as Code)
