Our goal is to put Linux desktops back at the forefront of security, reliability, and usability. In this project, we combine the best ideas of immutable Linux with the latest Linux desktop experience to bring our global ecosystem of developers a much better platform for innovation. We mostly code in system languages such as Rust, C, and C++, and occasionally use Python and Dart/Flutter. This role offers a unique opportunity to grow and learn in a fast-paced environment. Your contributions, guided by more experienced team members, will be essential in shaping the future of Ubuntu's Core Desktop.

  • Write high-quality, defensive, and performant code for millions of demanding daily users.
  • Collaborate with team members to understand the intricacies of immutable desktops.
  • Participate in code reviews to gain a deep understanding of quality standards and architecture.
  • Engage with the Ubuntu community to gather user feedback and insights.
  • Contribute to documentation to aid in your learning and that of future team members.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve user-reported issues, gaining experience in debugging and problem-solving.

Requirements:

  • Outstanding academic results.
  • An undergraduate degree in a technical subject or a compelling narrative about your alternative chosen path.
  • An understanding of software development methodologies and life cycles.
  • A passion for technology and a drive to work with intelligent, motivated colleagues.
  • Willingness to learn and adapt, with a keen interest in the challenges of immutable desktop environments.
  • Skills in Linux containerisation technologies - kernel namespaces, cgroups, apparmour, or seccomp.
  • Skills in Linux desktop environments - XDG portals, free desktop specifications, systemd, GRUB, etc.
  • Skills in Rust, Golang, Python, or C.
  • Good communication skills for both internal and external interactions.
  • Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long.

What We Offer:

  • 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.
