Senior Software Engineer - Python/MongoDB at Canonical

This role is ideal for a senior-level Python developer who has deep hands-on experience managing and operating MongoDB clusters. You should be someone who enjoys infrastructure-as-code and wants to build open-source tools that automate complex database operations across multi-cloud and Kubernetes environments. As a key member of a small team, you will have a high degree of influence over the product’s direction. While the role is listed as home-based in the EMEA region, you’ll be joining a long-standing remote-first culture. The focus here is strictly on impactful open-source work, providing a rare opportunity to contribute to the Ubuntu ecosystem without the overhead of proprietary software constraints. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are an expert Python programmer who treats "infrastructure as code" as a standard practice. * Have professional experience deploying, scaling, and maintaining MongoDB in mission-critical environments. * Enthusiastically advocate for automated testing and high-quality open-source software. * Are comfortable working in a distributed, remote team across EMEA time zones.
