Fresno, California, United States Canonical - Jobs Full time
Job Description

This is a general track for Senior Engineers or above in any team at Canonical. After the first round of interviews, we will establish which teams might be an excellent fit, and progress your application with them.

Canonical delivers open source to the world across every class of compute. Our engineering teams work on operating systems, programming languages, applications, devices, infrastructure, and services. We work in Golang, Python, C, C++, and Rust for system services, and use React and Flutter on the front end.

In our levelling framework, a Senior Engineer is not only an outstanding software architect and coder but also demonstrates the leadership qualities needed to rally a team to ship outstanding products. A Senior Engineer partners with an Engineering Manager, who is also code-capable, and together they take responsibility for team outcomes. We hire based on academic results and proven product execution, and we select those with a passion for open-source software, innovation, and cutting-edge technology.

As a Senior Engineer, you'll drive the architecture, design, and evolution of high-impact open source. Our teams work at every level of the stack.
