Site Reliability Engineer

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 breakthrough 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.

With founder‑led leadership, Canonical is profitable and growing. We are a pioneer of globally distributed collaboration, with over 1 200 colleagues in more than 75 countries and very few office‑based roles. Teams meet two to four times a year in person at interesting worldwide locations to align on strategy and execution.

Our goal is to perfect enterprise infrastructure DevOps practices, raising the bar on what’s possible with automation by embracing a model‑driven approach, whether on‑premise or on public clouds. We run hundreds of private cloud and Kubernetes clusters, and support applications for customers across both physical and public cloud estates. In this role you’ll identify and address incidents, monitor and observe applications, anticipate potential issues, and enable product refinement to achieve high‑quality standards in our open‑source portfolio.
