Kernel Build Automation Engineer - Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu Linux is one of the most widely used Linux distributions in the world today and one of the top contributing factors to its popularity is its wide availability and ease of installation.

Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu Linux, is seeking a senior software engineer to lead an initiative to take the configuration and build of the Ubuntu Linux kernel to a new level of simplicity and automation to make it even easier to distribute to clients tailored to their specific system needs.

We are looking for an industry veteran who has been there, done that across a broad range of the software stack and is able to draw on that experience to guide this new effort.

You will be expected to take charge of the implementation from concept through delivery and strong leadership skills are a must along with a tenacious commitment to detail and strict adherence to project schedules.

While this role does not require previous Linux kernel internals development experience (although that would be highly regarded), a more in-depth grasp of the build system beyond typing make on the command line is essential.

Advanced git usage and kernel patching experience will also be critical to the role.

Home-based in the Europe, Middle East, or Africa regions.

Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source.

As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open-source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud, we are changing the world of software.

We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company.

We expect excellence; in order to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do.

Most colleagues at Canonical have worked from home since our inception in 2004.

Working here is a step into the future and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.

Canonical is an equal opportunity employer

We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination.
