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.
We are hiring engineers to work across the breadth of our Ubuntu Engineering organisation - engineers who care deeply for quality, performance and resilience in software, engineers who are just as comfortable with designing and engineering new software as they are with packaging, integrating, testing and shipping the incredible catalog of open source software provided by the Ubuntu repositories.
Ubuntu is not just the world's most deployed open source operating system, it's a platform that enables innovation for millions of users across the globe.
Our community represents the full breadth of the developer experience; from students, hobbyists and freelancers to high performance engineering and creative teams in corporate and academic environments.
The four key teams that ship Ubuntu are:
Foundations:
maintaining foundational software: architectures, package managers, compilers, toolchains, bootloaders, filesystems and core utilities
Server:
leading the design, evolution and future of our Ubuntu Server distribution
Desktop:
driving Ubuntu Desktop, our future immutable desktop: Ubuntu Core Desktop, WSL, gaming technology, and a suite of modern applications for the desktop crafted with Flutter
Debcrafters:
a new team responsible for the forward movement, maintenance and overall health of the Ubuntu archive: one of the most abundant repositories of open source software available today
Bring your existing expertise and learn new skills by working on one of the most prolific pieces of open source software.
Development:
design, build and ship new foundational systems software and applications in Rust, Go, Flutter, and Python
Architecture:
engineer the integration of open source from boot firmware to cloud applications deployment
Packaging:
a combination of Debian and Snap packaging to ship software in the distribution
Automation:
build and maintain the machinery responsible for building, testing and shipping Ubuntu
Distro Engineering:
the maintenance and evolution of a Linux distribution and its repositories
This application track is suitable for those at the mid point in their career but perhaps not quite at the Manager/Lead level, with relevant skills to contribute to Ubuntu.
We're looking for individuals who can help build a thriving community and contribute with enthusiasm and precision to a broad range of technologies.
Location:
We have remote roles open in every time zone.

Debugging system-level issues and delivering robust solutions
Authoring and improving technical and community documentation
Contributing to upstream and neighboring open source projects
Collaborating as part of a globally distributed team
Mentoring their colleagues to build skills and understanding
