    Job Description

    Job Description

    Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets.

    Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT.

    Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors.

    The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few office based roles.

    Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

    The company is founder led, profitable and growing.
    We have created a new career path at Canonical for

    Performance Engineers

    who bring exceptional clarity to software performance, correctness and efficiency. We are adding these roles to every engineering team at the company.

    As an open source platform, we have teams that work at every level of the software stack - from the kernel up through server and desktop applications, all the way to the web.

    We are adding roles with this focus in every engineering team in the company, to act as

    drivers of performance engineering skills, tools, culture and insights to our entire product range .

    We have also created a central performance engineering team, where we will drive shared tools, dashboarding capabilities, measurement frameworks, analytical capabilities and skills.

    We call this career focus ' percorr ' because we have found that the same deep insights that enable sophisticated performance measurement and design also enable teams to improve their harnesses and frameworks for correctness.

    Understanding not only the application, but the runtime, the compiler, and the system, all the way down to the CPU, gives an engineer the ability to think creatively and with insight about the right things to measure, and the right ways to verify correctness.

    We have found that performance engineers will often improve the deepest and trickiest areas of our test harnesses, and unblock their teams to test and measure previously 'dark' aspects of their work.

    We also have teams that work with every major silicon vendor and cloud, with a particular emphasis on performance optimisation of the entire stack for that architecture, CPU family or hypervisor.

    Our goal is to ensure that Ubuntu users can select whatever platform they want for their workloads and know they have access to the very best performance and efficiency across the entire stack from kernel to codec.

    If they wish, we will enable performance and correctness engineers to move between products every two years, so that they have the opportunity to raise the bar for performance in an array of products over time, and also that teams have the benefit of fresh eyes on their processes, thinking, harnesses, dashboards and code.

    Our performance and correctness leads are expected to be

    truly exceptional individuals, and also leaders

    who are confident setting expectations of change, sharing insights and skills, running initiatives and programs.

    There is no way to move a meaningful codebase without also moving the people behind it.
    This is a career path for perfectionists and precision artists.

    Whether you have a particular language focus - C, C++, Rust, Golang, Python, Java, Flutter-Dart or others - or a particular love of the kernel or hardware or CPU instruction set, whether you see yourself as driving perceived user experience through performance or optimising the efficiency of data centers to reduce carbon footprint, this process is the best way to find a role at Canonical that speaks to your precision, rigour, insight and drive.


    Location :
    We have teams in every time zone, and can accommodate applications from almost any country.
    Nice-to-have skills we value

    Low-level CPU insights and assembly language - understanding cache, registers, vectorization, memory
    Kernel performance insights - scheduling, context switching, hardware acceleration
    Distributed systems performance insights - tracing, debugging
    Compiler level performance insights - profile guided optimization, inlining, assembler
    Runtime performance insights - Golang, Python, JVM, NodeJS
    Database performance evaluation - plans, indexing, data modelling, tracing, monitoring
    Web browser performance insights - JS, web frameworks, tracing, CSS
    Performance measurement tooling - profiling, eBPF, D-Trace, flamegraphs
    Benchmarks and performance measurement tools - Phoronix Test Suite, others
    Test harnesses and capabilities in C, C++, Rust, Python, Golang, NodeJS, JavaScript
    The role entails

    Drive software performance and correctness in a specific project
    Collaborate with colleagues and community around the globe
    Work on shared tools and infrastructure for performance measurement, analysis and reporting
    Teach, train and develop skills in your team for performance culture and design
    Strengthen test capabilities, harnesses and pipelines
    Analyze systems and code to understand performance and scalability
    Solve problems directly or through influence, leadership and skills development
    Review code and technical designs
    What we are looking for in you

    Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
    Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics
    Demonstrable personal initiatives to measure and improve performance, efficiency and correctness in code
    Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation
    Track record of going above-and-beyond expectations to achieve outstanding results
    Leadership and commitment to skills development and mentorship
    Passion for technology evidenced by personal projects and initiatives
    The work ethic and confidence to shine alongside motivated colleagues
    Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills
    Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred)
    Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
    Appreciative of diversity, polite and effective in a multi-cultural, multi-national organisation
    Thoughtfulness and self-motivation
    Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments
    Ability to travel internationally twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long
    What we offer colleagues 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 or commission. 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.
    Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
    Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
    Annual compensation review
    Recognition rewards
    Annual holiday leave
    Maternity and paternity leave
    Employee Assistance Programme
    Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues
    Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long haul company events
