Staff Security Operations Engineer at Canonical

This role is designed for high-caliber security professionals who want to protect the global Ubuntu ecosystem. While the title says "Staff," the company is hiring across the spectrum—from "junior exceptional" talent with a deep personal interest in cyber defense to seasoned veterans with experience thwarting state-level actors and advanced persistent threats (APTs). A strong academic background or an impressive narrative of self-taught expertise is a must. This is a fully remote, global position within a newly formed team reporting directly to the CISO. Standout perks include twice-yearly international team sprints, a $2,000 annual professional development budget, and travel benefits like Priority Pass. You won’t just be monitoring logs; you’ll be designing security architecture and contributing back to the open-source community through threat intelligence and public thought leadership. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a deep technical understanding of NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and risk management frameworks. * Are motivated by securing the open-source supply chain rather than just protecting a single corporate network. * Enjoy "pioneer" work—building standards, playbooks, and security controls from the ground up for a new team. * Possess a strong academic record in Computer Science or a related STEM field.
