Solutions Architect for Automotive at Canonical

This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer who bridges the gap between deep technical Linux systems and customer-facing solution architecture. You should have a strong background in the automotive sector and a passion for "Software Defined Vehicles." The perfect candidate is someone who can write production-level code (Go, Python, or C++) but also enjoys pitching technology to stakeholders at major automotive OEMs like Ford or Mercedes. As a "home-based worldwide" role, this offers exceptional geographical flexibility, though it requires up to 30% travel for high-stakes client meetings and global team "sprints." While the salary isn't listed, Canonical provides a structured environment with a $2,000 annual L&D budget, performance bonuses, and a unique culture that has been remote-first since 2004. You will be at the forefront of bringing Ubuntu and Kubernetes to embedded automotive environments. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have professional experience with Yocto, RTOS, or low-level Linux boot and firmware. * Are comfortable acting as a "trusted advisor" during presales, translating complex technical specs into business value. * Are proficient in at least one major language like Golang, C++, or Rust. * Enjoy the variety of working on different customer PoCs rather than staying on one single internal product.
