Alliances Field Engineer at Canonical

This role is ideal for a mid-level Linux expert who enjoys the intersection of deep technical architecture and partner-facing strategy. You should have a strong background in the open-source ecosystem—specifically Ubuntu, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure—and be comfortable "speaking the language" of major tech giants like Intel, Nvidia, and Google to help them integrate complex software solutions. The position offers a truly global, remote-first culture with unique perks, including twice-yearly international "sprints" and a $2,000 annual professional development budget. While compensation is location-dependent, the company provides annual reviews and performance bonuses. This is a high-visibility role where you act as a trusted advisor, designing reference architectures that influence how the world’s largest companies use open source. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are a Linux power user with hands-on experience in Python, Bash, and software automation. * Have architected solutions on public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) or private infrastructure (OpenStack, Ceph). * Enjoy public speaking, giving demos, and teaching technical workshops to partners. * Are comfortable with up to 30% international travel for team events and partner engagements.
