Job Description

We are hiring a Community Engineer to support community initiatives. The Ubuntu Community team at Canonical enables community leaders and participants to get things done in the project, coordinating with Canonical teams and ensuring that community processes are efficient and well run. We don't do the work of the community, but we facilitate that work to ensure that energetic and ambitious community members with their own vision of open source can benefit from the work Canonical does and bring their own flavor of Ubuntu into being, to meet the needs and express the interests of their community.

In this role, you will utilize your technical skills and strong organizational skills, get into the trenches with developers to smooth processes and integrate community plans with Canonical plans for maximum impact, encourage and facilitate the creation of new technical projects that enhance the community contribution experience, and represent community interests to Canonical teams.

You will help to ensure their success and the overall autonomy and sustainability of the project.

You will communicate effectively with developers and software engineers and represent not only the Ubuntu community but Canonical as a contributor to the wider Linux ecosystem. You will attend conferences and expos, and talk about technical community projects and their development processes.

This is an exciting opportunity for a technically proficient person who is passionate about open source software, Linux, and sustainable community building. This role is likely a good fit for someone with experience in DevOps, Software Development, Testing or QA, package management, container technology. You will definitely need to be technically skilled with Linux.

What we are looking for in you
  • Passion for technology and working with brilliant people
  • You are curious, flexible, articulate, and accountable
  • You value soft skills and are passionate, enterprising, thoughtful, and self-motivated
  • You have experience with developer tools and open source projects
  • You have a clear public record of accomplishments (talks, blog posts, GitHub, Twitter, etc.)
  • You have interest and experience with two or more of the following: Ubuntu Linux - kernel or userspace, DevOps, software development, testing and QA, package management, container technology
  • You can work autonomously and assume full ownership of objectives as needed
  • You can be flexible with your time and enjoy working with new technology in a fast-paced environment
