Senior Jira Administrator at Canonical

This role is designed for a technical Jira expert who bridges the gap between systems administration and software engineering. While the primary focus is managing Atlassian Jira Cloud, the ideal candidate must also be proficient in Python to handle integrations and automation. Canonical places a high value on academic excellence and rigorous documentation, so this is best suited for a "high-achiever" who thrives in a structured but globally distributed environment. As a fully remote, EMEA-based position, you'll benefit from a mature distributed culture and a $2,000 annual professional development budget. Standout perks include twice-yearly international travel for team "sprints" and a compensation structure that includes performance-driven bonuses. Unlike many admin roles, this sits within the Commercial Systems team, offering exposure to a wide tech stack including Go, Airbyte, and Temporal. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have extensive experience configuring Jira Cloud, including workflows, complex automations, and custom dashboards. * Can write clean, effective Python code to integrate business systems with data warehouses. * Possess an exceptional academic record from high school through university. * Enjoy international travel and are comfortable collaborating with a diverse, global team across multiple time zones.
