Unlock Your Potential as a Junior Linux Kernel Engineer

Are you a recent university graduate or early career professional looking to develop your skills in kernel-level software development? Do you have a passion for operating systems and a strong foundation in C and/or Rust programming languages? If so, we invite you to join our dynamic team at Canonical as a Junior Linux Kernel Engineer.

About the Role

As a Junior Linux Kernel Engineer, you will be part of a globally distributed team responsible for building and maintaining all supported Ubuntu Linux kernels for various platforms and architectures. Your primary focus will be on tackling serious initiatives, including optimized solutions for key Silicon and Cloud partner platforms, developer platforms such as Raspberry Pi and RISC-V, and enabling Ubuntu on a wide range of embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with a globally distributed team to develop and maintain Ubuntu Linux kernels
  • Work closely with external silicon, cloud, or hardware manufacturer delivery teams on bleeding-edge platforms
  • Diagnose and resolve issues in the kernel reported by customers, the community, and discovered by your own rigorous testing
  • Take personal responsibility for the delivery of various flavors of the Ubuntu Linux kernel
  • Improve tooling and automation for delivery and test of Ubuntu Linux kernels
What We're Looking For

We're seeking a well-organized and motivated self-starter who can thrive in a remote work environment. You should have a professional manner with colleagues, business partners, and the open-source community. Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal, are essential. Programming experience in C and/or Rust is required, and familiarity with version control practices, ideally with git, is a plus.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive compensation package, including a performance-driven annual bonus, a home-based work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person, and a personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year. We also provide annual compensation reviews, recognition rewards, annual holiday leave, maternity and paternity leave, an Employee Assistance Programme, and opportunities to travel to new locations to meet colleagues.
