Canonical
Graduate Software Engineer, Open Source and Linux, Canonical Ubuntu
Canonical, Fresno, California, United States, 93650
Overview
Graduate Software Engineer, Open Source and Linux, Canonical Ubuntu – join Canonical as part of our engineering teams across the globe. Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in 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 1200+ colleagues in 75+ 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 are hiring 2024 and 2025 Graduate Software Engineers into engineering teams around the world. As a global platform company we offer a wide range of software engineering challenges, in both open source products and commercial business systems. We work across languages including Python, Golang, Rust, C/C++, JavaScript and Bash. We work at levels from BIOS and boot loaders, firmware, kernel and drivers to desktop applications and containers. We work on devices from Raspberry Pi and new RISC-V boards to supercomputers, clouds and Kubernetes clusters. We work on captors such as compilers, toolchains, security, cryptography, performance and documentation. Some teams focus on packaging thousands of pieces of software, others on deep contributions to a single body of code.
If you are excited about the potential of open source for humanity and enterprise, have outstanding results in your academic career, and want to contribute to the open source stack, this is the best way to apply to Canonical. We will help identify teams and projects that fit your skills and motivations. The process is highly competitive and will require effort and excellence to succeed if you apply here.
Most of our engineering teams work from home. We aim to align a single team in a single time zone – EMEA, APAC, and AMER. Even though you work from home, you will have colleagues to coach and mentor you, and for problem solving and pair programming. Larger projects may span the globe. We work with the open source community and build teams that thrive in the open source engineering “fishbowl.” This is full-time work, five days a week, typically Monday to Friday, with limited weekends and holidays, and with productive engagement.
We bring our engineering teams together in person twice a year for a deep sprint with other teams to stimulate discussion and enable career development paths. This is a fantastic way to demonstrate and develop your software skills, learn about new technologies, and visit interesting cities.
If you find the open source stack amazing and have been a consistent high-performing student, this will be a challenging and exciting start to your career.
