Albany, New York, United States Canonical - Jobs Full time
Job Title: Rust Engineering Lead

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 office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

We are hiring Rust Engineering Leads of all levels of experience to drive the adoption of this exciting language into the full range of Canonical offerings, starting with Ubuntu but also our own projects and open source offerings. We see Rust as an important new language for system-level services and capabilities, and a natural evolution path for the sort of software that would traditionally have been written in C or C++.

We believe that there is an opportunity to rethink the foundations of future Linux systems with Rust as a central driver of change in everything from the system firmware and embedded software, bootloaders, up through the kernel and input handling, all the way to the desktop.

We also want to ensure that Ubuntu is the very best platform for Rust development, offering easy access to the widest range of tooling and capabilities that support cutting-edge open source and enterprise development.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement well-tested and well-documented software in Rust
  • Advocate for Rust adoption in Canonical and upstream projects
  • Identify projects and codebases that could be prioritized for Rust adoption
  • Debug and fix issues encountered by your users
  • Participate in our engineering process through code and architectural reviews
  • Collaborate with community and colleagues on technical specifications
  • Seek improvements to engineering and operations practices
  • In some cases, deploy and operate services developed by the team
  • Contribute to the success of your product through technical advocacy
Requirements:
  • An exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
  • Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative path
  • For more senior roles, experience building, deploying, and operating distributed systems and APIs
  • Drive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectations
  • Well-organized, self-starting, and able to deliver to schedule
  • Appreciative of diversity, polite, and effective in a multi-cultural, multi-national organization
  • Professional manner interacting with colleagues, partners, and community
  • Experience designing and writing high-quality Rust software on Linux
  • Experience with and passion for Linux at the system level
  • Professional written and spoken English
  • The work ethic and confidence to shine alongside motivated colleagues
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
  • Passion, thoughtfulness, and self-motivation
  • Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments
  • Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks each
Nice-to-Have Skills:
  • Experience developing for Ubuntu
  • Experience with LXD, MicroK8s, SnapD, IoT, Juju, Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Pro
  • Performance engineering and security experience

As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud, we are changing the world of software.
