Christchurch, New Zealand Canonical Full time

This role is one of our general tracks.
Apply here for all engineering teams at Canonical who work on low-level system technology and embedded systems, across all seniority levels.We hire careful and conscientious engineers who appreciate the challenge of memory, performance, battery and connectivity constrained code that has to work every time in an unreliable and unforgiving world, on x86, ARM or RISC-V silicon.Canonical Ubuntu is the leading Linux for software engineers, desktops, cloud and IoT.
We bring open source to the world as a high-performance, safe and secure platform for enterprise computing, software engineering, and connected devices.These smart, connected devices have the potential to transform every industry.
Classic Ubuntu – desktop or server – is widely used in embedded systems because of its developer focus and enterprise grade security maintenance.
We partner with the world's most prominent silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu on their latest and greatest chips, as well as with major OEMs and ODMs (PC, servers and connected device manufacturers) to ensure that Ubuntu works perfectly on their hardware.But while classic, 'deb' based Ubuntu is ideal for developers, it has too much variability for appliance or connected device environments, where you want to know exactly what the state of millions or billions of devices might be.
So Canonical builds Ubuntu Core, a fully containerised version of Ubuntu that is mathematically precise and rigorously secure.
We are working on additional solutions for even smaller devices.We have several teams that focus on open source for embedded environments.
We hire outstanding Linux and RTOS software engineers with a passion for open source, innovation, cutting-edge hardware and software technologies in general.
You will be expected to make significant contributions through high-quality design and code, and to develop your technical leadership.These roles include:Ubuntu Core and snapd software developmentSilicon software and optimisation engineersKernel driver and hardware enablement engineersHardware-centric Linux QA EngineersHardware Certification EngineersRobotics engineersIndustrial IoT software engineersNetworking software engineers (switching, routing, access and SmartNICs)At Canonical you will have the opportunity to engage with the broader open source community.
We're looking for individuals who can help build a thriving community, contribute to a broad range of technologies, and contribute to the deployment of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core across the widest range of devices.Location: we have remote roles open in every time zone.What your day will look likeBased on the first round of interviews we identify specific teams where you might be an excellent fit, and conduct second round interviews with those teams.
Our engineers:Work with the latest Linux kernel, RTOS, and open source technologiesDeliver Ubuntu for the latest IoT and server-class hardware platformsIntegrate and maintain device-oriented software stacksWrite high-quality, well-designed softwareCollaborate proactively with other globally distributed teamsDisplay technical leadership internally and within our external communitiesHelp our customers ship their apps and SDKs on UbuntuBuild device OS images with Ubuntu Core, Desktop and ServerOptimise the Ubuntu kernel and libraries for silicon-specific capabilitiesDebug issues and produce high-quality code to fix themContribute to technical documentation to make it the best of its kindDiscuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutionsParticipate as technical lead on complex customer engagements involving complete system architectures from cloud to edgeWork usually from home, with global travel 2 to 4 weeks for company eventsWhat we are looking for in youAn exceptional academic track record from both high school and universityDrive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectationsUndergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative pathPassion for embedded systems software (e.g.
