Software Engineer - OpenStack at Canonical

This role is ideal for a mid-level Python developer with a strong foundation in infrastructure automation and a passion for open-source ecosystems. Candidates should have a STEM background and practical experience with Ubuntu Linux, particularly in how it interacts with distributed systems. Familiarity with non-x86 architectures (like ARM64 or s390x) and cloud-native technologies is a significant plus. The position offers a unique "remote-first" culture within a globally distributed team, providing high autonomy and flexibility. Standout perks include international travel 2–4 times per year to global engineering sprints, a structured annual compensation review, and a clear path for professional development within the Ubuntu ecosystem. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are a Python expert who enjoys automating "infrastructure as code" using tools like Charmed OpenStack. * Have hands-on experience with cloud-scale technologies like Ceph, OVN, or Kubernetes. * Enjoy collaborating via distributed workflows and are comfortable traveling internationally for team alignment. * Passionately believe in the future of the software-defined datacenter and open-source innovation.
