Canonical | Software Engineer, Engineering Manager | Remote (EMEA, Eastern Americas) | Backend, Python | https://canonical.com

Canonical is hiring!

We are looking for excellent software engineers and an engineering manager to join us on the Snap Store and Launchpad teams. This is an exciting opportunity for engineers passionate about open source software, Linux and Web Services at scale.

A truly remote team since its start in 2004, Canonical employs more than 700 people from 50 countries worldwide. We are investing in the remote workplace to push the limits of global coordination and institutional complexity for an entirely distributed team.

We have some exciting challenges ahead including continuing to scale our architecture, expand the store backend to handle additional package types, and enhance our on-prem offering.

We are looking to hire in the Eastern Americas and EMEA. If you have a passion for clean APIs, have a bias towards shipping and believe that tests are the key to higher velocity and reliability, you'll fit right in.

Snap Store

The Snap Store team develops and operates the backend services that power the Snap Store and Charmhub.io marketplaces. Our services are built primarily in Python, with a bit of Golang.

Launchpad

Launchpad is a robust platform for managing open source development projects. It includes code hosting and review, bug tracking, package building, translations, and other facilities used by free and open source software developers. It provides essential development infrastructure for major projects such as Ubuntu.
