Microservices Engineer

Canonical is a leading global provider of open source software and operating systems, best known for its Ubuntu platform which is widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives including public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT, with customers spanning the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers and industry leaders across sectors. The founder-led, profitable, growing company operates as a fully distributed team with 1200+ colleagues across 75+ countries, with very few office-based roles and teams meeting two to four times yearly in person in interesting global locations to align on strategy and execution. Most colleagues have worked from home since Canonical's 2004 inception. This is a general selection track for back-end REST API microservices engineering teams focused on Go and Python, open to all seniority levels, for engineers with crisp, well-articulated expertise in APIs, microservice design, engineering processes, and DevOps. The role centers on building and maintaining services that scale to support millions of Ubuntu clients, collaboration across thousands of community members, and global critical infrastructure, with teams focused on advancing scalability, performance, resilience, and DevOps practices across Canonical's web services as the company grows to improve web service quality and performance.
