We do this by utilizing the best of open source infrastructure as code software, software development practices such as CI/CD pipelines, and Canonical's leading products for software operation automation.

In addition to defining the infrastructure as code, you will improve Canonical products and the open-source technologies they're based on by providing critical feedback to developers on how their products operate at scale. This is done by submitting bugs (and sometimes writing pull requests) and collaborating on design and implementations with other teams within the company.

You'll be part of a global team of SREs that work together and support each other to provide the best possible services to our company, Canonical's customers and the Ubuntu Community.

  • Carry final responsibility for time-critical escalations

What we are looking for in you

  • A modern view on hosting architecture, driven by infrastructure as code across both private and public clouds.
  • A product mindset thriving to develop products rather than solutions.
  • Python software development experience, with large projects
  • Experience working with Kubernetes or other container orchestration systems.
  • Proven exposure to manage and deploy cloud infrastructure with code.
  • Practical knowledge of Linux networking, routing, and firewalls
  • Affinity with various forms of Linux storage, from Ceph to Databases
