London, Greater London, United Kingdom Canonical Full time

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

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

We collaborate with the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, as well as industry leaders in various sectors.

The company is a leader in global distributed collaboration, with a global team of + colleagues in 70+ countries, with very few roles based in offices.

Teams meet twice to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations worldwide, to align on strategy and execution.

We are hiring a Cloud Solutions Architect in our Alliances team to help our biggest partners (companies like Intel, Nvidia, Google, Dell, HP, Accenture, Tata, and the like) understand and embrace our open-source platform for themselves and their customers.

Our worldwide field engineering team applies expert insights to real-world customer problems, enabling the enterprise adoption of Ubuntu, OpenStack, Kubernetes, AI/MLOps, and a wide range of associated technologies.

We are experts in the whole open-source stack, from kernel to desktop, from cloud to the edge.

Our team is also interested in business problems - building things reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively, and we have to learn to speak the language of our customers and their industries.

We help global companies embrace public and private cloud infrastructure, cloud-native operations, and open-source applications.

For this team, we are looking for several Alliances Engineers to support OEM (hardware manufacturers), GSI (global system integrators), ISV (independent software vendors), Channel partners, and Public Cloud alliance partners.

You will support various alliances and partners of Canonical to adopt our products and technologies, help business leaders to define joint go-to-market programs with partners from the technical standpoint.

We often say that our field engineers have 'the hardest job at Canonical' because customers can ask about any aspect of our solutions and products and expect a thoughtful, well-informed answer.

We always want to do the best thing for our partners and customers, regardless of our company interests, and field engineers are the people we trust to ensure that is true.

This is a home-based role, we are hiring worldwide.

What your day will look like

  • Understand Ubuntu, Linux, networking, and services in real-world environments
  • Architect cloud infrastructure solutions like Kubernetes, Kubeflow, OpenStack, Ceph, and Spark either On-Premises or in Public Cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
  • Architect and integrate popular open-source software such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Cassandra, and NGINX
  • Help partners to offer and architect joint solutions utilizing Canonical's technologies on top of the public clouds and in the data center
  • Design and publish joint Reference Architectures and perform technical validations with various partners
  • Prepare and run onboarding sessions/workshops with various partners' teams to promote Canonical products and solutions

If you have a passion for the latest open-source technologies, cloud-native development, data center technologies such as Kubernetes and computer networking, you will love the Alliances Architect role at Canonical.
