Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT.
Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors.The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles.
Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.
This is a general selection track for teams that focus on back-end REST API microservices engineering in Go and Python.
Apply here if you are already an outstanding engineer with crisp and well-articulated views on APIs, microservice design, engineering processes and DevOps.
Our services need to scale to handle millions of Ubuntu clients, and collaboration across thousands of community members. They are also central to the health of critical infrastructure across the globe.As Ubuntu has been embraced by mainstream enterprise computing through the adoption of cloud and developer-centric tech strategy, the quality of these services has become more important to customers and users.
While Ubuntu has been enormously successful and in many senses leads the industry, we think we can substantially improve our practices, quality and performance in the web services domain.

Key areas of interest for us are:
API design, documentation, and governance
Database performance design considerations and skills
