Security Software Engineer at Canonical

This role is designed for mid-level software engineers who are deep security specialists. The ideal candidate has a strong academic background in Computer Science and is proficient in systems-level languages like C, C++, Go, or Rust. You should be equally comfortable performing code audits, threat modeling, and vulnerability remediation as you are contributing direct feature code to open-source projects. As part of a pioneer in remote work, you will enjoy a fully distributed environment with a $2,000 annual professional development budget and a performance-driven bonus. A standout perk is the "sprint" culture: the company gathers teams in person 2–4 times a year in various international locations for strategy and alignment, providing a unique travel element to a remote role. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a "security champion" mindset and can influence product teams to adopt SSDLC practices. * Are proficient in Linux internals (especially Debian/Ubuntu) and interested in low-level cryptography or kernel security. * Thrive in an autonomous, highly disciplined environment and enjoy writing public-facing open-source code. * Are willing to travel internationally for one week several times a year.
