Join to apply for the Linux Devices Software Engineer role at Canonical

This role is one of our general tracks. Apply here for all engineering teams at Canonical who work on low-level system technology on autonomous devices across all seniority levels.

We hire careful and conscientious engineers who appreciate the challenge of memory, performance, battery and connectivity constrained code that has to work every time in an unreliable and unforgiving world, on x86, ARM or RISC-V silicon.

Canonical Ubuntu is the leading Linux for software engineers, desktops, cloud and IoT. We bring open source to the world as a high-performance, safe and secure platform for enterprise computing, software engineering, and connected devices.

These smart, connected devices have the potential to transform every industry. Classic Ubuntu – desktop or server – is widely used in embedded systems because of its developer focus and enterprise grade security maintenance. We partner with the world's most prominent silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu on their latest and greatest chips, as well as with major OEMs and ODMs (PC, servers and connected device manufacturers) to ensure that Ubuntu works perfectly on their hardware.

But while classic, 'deb' based Ubuntu is ideal for developers, it has too much variability for appliance or connected device environments, where you want to know

  • exactly
  • what the state of millions or billions of devices might be. So Canonical builds Ubuntu Core, a fully containerised version of Ubuntu that is mathematically precise and rigorously secure. We are working on additional solutions for even smaller devices.

We have several teams that focus on open source for embedded environments. We hire outstanding Linux software engineers with a passion for open source, innovation, cutting-edge hardware and software technologies in general. You will be expected to make significant contributions through high-quality design and code, and to develop your technical leadership.

These roles include :

  • Ubuntu Core and snapd software development
  • Silicon software and optimisation engineers
  • Kernel driver and hardware enablement engineers
  • Hardware-centric Linux QA Engineers
  • Hardware Certification Engineers
  • Robotics engineers
  • Industrial IoT software engineers
  • Networking software engineers (switching, routing, access and SmartNICs)
  • At Canonical you will have the opportunity to engage with the broader open source community. We're looking for individuals who can help build a thriving community, contribute to a broad range of technologies, and contribute to the deployment of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core across the widest range of devices.

    Location : we have remote roles open in every time zone.

    What your day will look like

    Based on the first round of interviews we identify specific teams where you might be an excellent fit, and conduct second round interviews with those teams. Our engineers :

  • Work with the latest Linux kernel and open source technologies
  • Deliver Ubuntu for the latest IoT and server-class hardware platforms
  • Integrate and maintain device-oriented software stacks
  • Write high-quality, well-designed software
  • Collaborate proactively with other globally distributed teams
  • Display technical leadership internally and within our external communities
  • Help our customers ship their apps and SDKs on Ubuntu
  • Build device OS images with Ubuntu Core, Desktop and Server
  • Optimise the Ubuntu kernel and libraries for silicon-specific capabilities
  • Debug issues and produce high-quality code to fix them
  • Contribute to technical documentation to make it the best of its kind
  • Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions
  • Participate as technical lead on complex customer engagements involving complete system architectures from cloud to edge
  • Work usually from home, with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for company events
  • What we are looking for in you

  • An exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
  • Drive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectations
  • Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative path
  • Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred)
  • Passion for Linux or embedded systems software (e.g. kernel, graphics, Yocto)
  • Fluency in at least one of Golang, C, C++, or Rust
  • Professional written and spoken English
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
  • Passion, thoughtfulness, and self-motivation
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments
  • Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks each
  • Additional Skills That You Might Also Bring

  • Experience with Debian / Ubuntu or other distro packaging
  • Understanding of build systems and toolchains, including for cross-compilation
  • Experience with firmware, uboot, UEFI, ACPI, DSDT, or boot loaders
  • Experience with power management on PCI ASPM, SATA ALPM, low power profiles
  • Computer architecture knowledge of x86, ARM, RISC-V
  • Experience in board design, bring up, and validation
  • Experience with electrical engineering design tools (e.g. schematic capture, layout)
  • Familiarity with Ubuntu development model
  • Performance engineering and security experience
  • Shell or Python scripting skills
  • 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 recognise 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
  • 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
  • Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long haul company events
  • About Canonical
