Job Description

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 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries, and very few roles based in offices. 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 are hiring a Cloud Solutions Architect in our Alliances team to help our biggest partners (companies like Intel, Nvidia, Google, Dell, HP, Accenture, Tata, and the like) understand and embrace our open source platform for themselves and their customers.

Our worldwide field engineering team applies expert insights to real-world customer problems, enabling the enterprise adoption of Ubuntu, OpenStack, Kubernetes, AI/MLOps, and a wide range of associated technologies. We are experts in the whole open source stack, from kernel to desktop, from cloud to the edge. Our team is also interested in business problems - building things reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively, and we have to learn to speak the language of our customers and their industries.

We help global companies embrace public and private cloud infrastructure, cloud operations, and open source applications. For this team, we are looking for several Alliances Engineers to support OEM (hardware manufacturers), GSI (global system integrators), ISV (independent software vendors), channel partners, and public cloud alliance partners. You will support various alliances and partners of Canonical to adopt our products and technologies, helping business leaders to define joint go-to-market programs with partners from the technical standpoint.

We often say that our field engineers have 'the hardest job at Canonical' because customers can ask about any aspect of our solutions and products and expect a thoughtful, well-informed answer. We always want to do the best thing for our partners and customers, regardless of our company interests, and field engineers are the people we trust to ensure that is true.

Location: This is a home-based role; we are hiring worldwide.

What your day will look like
  • Understand Ubuntu, Linux, networking, and services in real-world environments.
  • Architect cloud infrastructure solutions like Kubernetes, Kubeflow, OpenStack, Ceph, and Spark either On-Premises or in Public Cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
  • Architect and integrate popular open source software such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Cassandra, and NGINX.
  • Help partners to offer and architect joint solutions utilizing Canonical's technologies on top of the public clouds and in the data center.
  • Design and publish joint Reference Architectures and perform technical validations with various partners.
  • Prepare and run onboarding sessions/workshops with various partners' teams to promote Canonical products and solutions.

If you have a passion for the latest open source technologies, cloud development, data center technologies such as Kubernetes, and computer networking, you will love the Alliances Architect role at Canonical.

What we are looking for in you
  • Extensive experience with Linux (Ubuntu), Kubernetes, Ceph, software automation.
  • Experience designing and implementing solutions on top of public or private clouds.
  • Python and Bash understanding, troubleshooting skills.
  • Fluent written and spoken English.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • High motivation, ability to multi-task, and follow-up reliably on commitments.
  • Interest in customer-facing engagement, including pitching, demonstrating, and understanding customer environment and needs.
  • Interest in new technologies like LXD, Juju, and Snaps.
  • Ability to travel globally up to 30% of the time.
  • Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field experience.
What we offer you

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person - we've been working remotely since 2004
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year.
  • Annual compensation review.
  • Recognition rewards.
  • Annual holiday leave.
  • Maternity and paternity leave.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues from your team and others.
  • Priority Pass for travel and travel upgrades for long-haul company events.
