  • The Information Systems (IS) team is responsible for all IT operations at Canonical, including the infrastructure for building, packaging and distributing Ubuntu globally. As the IS architect, you will own the design of hardware and software implementation from PCI lanes to CDN and everything in between. Our goal is to be a reference operation, using the latest capabilities in Ubuntu and open source more generally, with the most modern operating principles. Your choices will impact the Ubuntu user experience for millions of users, and drive how Canonical’s engineers engage with compute and network resources in a DevOps setting.
  • As the IS Architect, you’ll be in a unique position to improve Canonical products and the open-source technologies they’re based on. You do this by leading System Reliability Engineers (SRE) and Data Center Engineers (DCE) to embrace best practices and make informed decisions on technology choices in all aspects of cloud infrastructure and services. You will coach the IS team on automation, reliability, operational/technical scalability, network infrastructure and security.

  • Provide the IS management with input and advice with regards to technology, reliability, resilience and business cases
  • Lead technical choices to implement solutions as self-service products, ensuring scalable operation
  • Collaborate with product security as well as operations security to set best practices and mitigate new threats in a timely manner
  • Automate operations for reuse across the world’s largest companies, taking into consideration the complexities of distributed systems
  • Collaborate with development teams to design service architecture, documentation, playbooks, policies and operational procedures
  • Analyze incidents and events, and establish what the reason behind the reasons are, and what structural improvements can be made to minimize the chance of them reoccurring

What we are looking for in you

  • Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
  • Undergraduate degree in a technical subject or a compelling narrative about your alternative chosen path
  • Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation
  • Track record of going above and beyond expectations to achieve outstanding results
  • Extensive knowledge of cloud computing concepts, technologies & operation
  • Practical knowledge of Linux networking, routing, firewalls, internet transit and large-scale/bandwidth networking.
  • Experience dealing with significant production outages, incident response and postmortems
  • A passion for writing, sharing, and maintaining enterprise open-source software solutions
  • Able to communicate clearly and effectively in English over email, chat, video or voice calls and in-person
  • Be familiar with and passionate about open-source, especially Ubuntu or Debian

Nice-to-have skills:

  • Modern software engineering background (peer review, unit testing, SCM, CI/CD, Agile)
  • Hands-on experience in the automatic administration of enterprise Linux servers at scale.
