    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 roles based in offices.

    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 are hiring an

    Ubuntu on WSL Software Engineer

    to grow the team working on this exciting technology. The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) opens up new possibilities for Linux development in Windows environments.

    WSL offers a specific set of capabilities to bridge a containerised Linux into the Windows desktop, allowing for interesting new kinds of integration to take place at that boundary.

    It is a potent new way to enable open source developer experiences on Windows workstations. We are excited to explore these possibilities, helping to shape the future of Windows-and-Linux development.

    We work closely with the Microsoft WSL team to ensure that the latest capabilities in WSL are well integrated with Ubuntu.

    We work with other open source developer communities to ensure that WSL makes a happy place to work with their libraries, toochains and applications.

    This team delivers the best Linux experience on WSL to a huge audience.

    You will have direct influence over the roadmap for Ubuntu on WSL and will specify, architect and develop features in association with engineering managers, product managers and developer advocates.

    If you enjoy public speaking you would be welcome to speak at conferences about your work on WSL, and interact with a very enthusiastic community.

    This role involves learning and driving improvements anywhere in the Ubuntu system, from the lowest level up to user experience and a GUI.

    The team works in a range of languages including Python, Golang, Flutter (Dart) and C/C++.

    If you don't already know about containers the role will challenge you to understand the details of kernel confinement and low level system services.

    The successful candidate will be passionate about the future of Ubuntu, mindful of the dynamics of the open source ecosystem, and equally aware of the needs of large organisations.

    Strong communication and relationship skills are as important as superb technical skills.

    Location :
    This is a home-based role, in the EMEA or Americas time zone.

    The role entails the following:
    Implement support for new WSL features in Ubuntu
    Closely follow upstream development in WSL
    Manage Ubuntu WSL applications in the Microsoft Store
    Implement support for Ubuntu features on WSL
    Contribute to upstream projects in support of WSL features
    Define, manage and execute test plans
    Work with other teams at Canonical to ensure that Ubuntu is released every 6 months on schedule
    Respond and work to resolve issues raised by end users and customers
    What we are looking for in you

    Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science or related engineering field
    Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
    Software development experience in a high-level language - preferably Go, Python or C++
    Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation
    Track record of going above-and-beyond expectations to achieve outstanding results
    Passion for technology evidenced by personal projects and initiatives, preferably on WSL
    The work ethic and confidence to shine alongside motivated colleagues
    Professional written and spoken English
    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
    Additional skills that are nice to have

    Knowledge of Windows, especially system-level capabilities like storage, filesystems, permissions, hyper-v
    Experience with Windows Subsystem for Linux, virtualization, and containers
    Knowledge of PowerShell, Visual Studio, and Azure DevOps
    Knowledge of Ubuntu desktop technologies (GNOME, D-Bus, systemd, Xorg/Wayland, etc.)
    Debian or Ubuntu

    contributor/developer
    Awareness of agile development methodologies and tools
    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
