Cleveland, Ohio, United States Canonical - Jobs Full time
Position Overview

Canonical is a prominent provider of open-source software and operating systems, catering to the global enterprise and technology sectors. Our flagship platform, Ubuntu, plays a crucial role in transformative enterprise initiatives such as public cloud computing, data science, artificial intelligence, engineering advancements, and the Internet of Things (IoT). We collaborate with leading public cloud and silicon providers, as well as industry pioneers across various sectors. As a trailblazer in global distributed collaboration, our team comprises over 1000 professionals across more than 70 countries, with minimal office-based roles. Our teams convene two to four times a year in diverse locations worldwide to align on strategic objectives and execution.

As a founder-led, profitable, and expanding organization, we are conducting a general selection process for software engineers specializing in virtualization and container technologies, spanning from the kernel to user space. If you are an outstanding software engineer proficient in Go, Rust, or C/C++, and are eager to contribute to next-generation open-source Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) or container technologies, as well as related open-source networking and storage solutions, we encourage you to consider this opportunity.

Containerization, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure have become integral to modern software deployments. We are committed to investing in open-source initiatives related to application isolation, workload orchestration, system or OCI containers, and microservices architecture.

Some of the exciting projects currently underway at Canonical include:

  • RustVMM: This project aims to develop a new hypervisor for Linux, focusing on performance, security, and operability. We are assembling a team to work on this initiative, leveraging your expertise in VMM and related kernel networking and storage capabilities.
  • Rockcraft: Our team is dedicated to enhancing the Docker image experience for the open-source community, addressing the quality, consistency, and security of Docker images published on Docker Hub and other registries.
  • LXD: As a modern system container and virtual machine manager, LXD is widely utilized on platforms such as Ubuntu and ChromeOS. The engineering work encompasses the entire software stack, from low-level kernel development to high-level management REST APIs and command-line interfaces.
  • Kubernetes Product Team: This team develops MicroK8s for streamlined Kubernetes deployment and Charmed Kubernetes for more complex integrations, working on Kubernetes itself and the operational tools surrounding it.
  • OpenStack Team: This team delivers Charmed OpenStack, OVN/OVS, and Ceph, bringing cloud platform technologies to large-scale computing environments.

We seek system-level developers proficient in C/C++, Golang, Rust, and Python to contribute to security-critical, performance-oriented, and mission-critical code, focusing on software delivery, containers, security, sandboxing, and application orchestration and management. Our teams are driven to make a significant impact on modern cloud computing technologies.

Remote Work Opportunities: We offer remote engineering roles in containerization and virtualization across all time zones.
