  • Provide technical communication and collaboration with other teams where appropriate.
  • Take personal ownership of problems and drive them to solutions.

  • Knowledge of network technologies, including PXE, DHCP, TFTP, DNS, NTP.
  • Some experience with Baseboard Management Controllers and Protocols (Redfish, IPMI, AMT, and others).
  • Strong experience with networking, storage technologies, and Cloud hosting and infrastructure.
  • Ideally, experience of large-scale physical server provisioning and automation, including rapid deployment, configuration, management, and service orchestration.
  • Familiarity with some of the open-source development tools and methodologies used in the creation of several Ubuntu projects (MAAS, Juju, Ubuntu Server, LXD, Ubuntu Core), such as Launchpad, Debian packaging tools (APT, dpkg), and snapcraft.
  • An exceptional academic track record from both high school and preferably university.
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events.

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
