Microservices Engineer at Canonical

This role is designed for high-caliber backend engineers who are passionate about the intersection of open-source software and scalable systems. The ideal candidate has a strong academic background and a proven track record of writing maintainable, high-quality code in **Go or Python**. Because this is a general selection track, they are looking for engineers across all seniority levels who can articulate clear views on API design, DevOps practices, and distributed systems. The standout feature of this position is the "home-based worldwide" setup, offering true location independence. While you'll work remotely, the company emphasizes culture through week-long, in-person global sprints held twice a year. Benefits include a performance-driven annual bonus, a $2,000 yearly learning budget, and an annual compensation review process that adjusts for local market rates and individual performance. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have professional experience building and scaling RESTful microservices with Go or Python. * Are comfortable working in a Linux-first environment (specifically Ubuntu/Debian). * Enjoy deep-diving into database performance, CI/CD pipelines, and system security. * Thrive in a self-motivated, distributed environment that requires excellent written communication.
