Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT.
The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.
We are seeking a systems software engineer passionate about software quality, Ubuntu, and the open source community, to join the Ubuntu Release Engineering team as we expand the set of open source packages we fully support and secure.
Ubuntu strives to deliver the latest-best free software components, in an easy to use and highly reliable form.
We build on the technical excellence of Debian and bring additional focus and shape to the solutions we offer the industry.
As an Ubuntu Release Engineer, you must be passionate about the future of Ubuntu, about quality and continuous integration and testing.
You will work closely with multiple teams at the heart of Ubuntu and drive quality excellence.
You will work closely with the Ubuntu Desktop, Server and Foundations team and put in place metrics for quality.
This is a globally remote role.
Experience with Debian/Ubuntu based operating systems and a good understanding of Debian packaging and snaps would be a considerable advantage.
We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.
We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance.
In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus.
We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals.
We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
