Containerization & Virtualisation Engineer
Detalhes do emprego
Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very 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. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing. This is a general selection process for software engineers focused on virtualization and container technology - from the kernel through userspace. Apply here if you are an exceptional Go, Rust, or C/C++ software engineer and want to work on next-generation open source VMM or container technology, or related open source networking and storage. Container, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure have become essentials of modern software deployments. We invest in open source related to application isolation, workload orchestration, system or OCI containers, microservice architecture, or cloud infrastructure. Here are some examples of projects underway at Canonical:
- RustVMM has great potential as a new hypervisor for Linux. We are building a team to work on this, with an emphasis on performance, security, and operability.
- Docker images are easy to make and publish on Docker Hub and other registries, but the quality, consistency, and security maintenance of those images is broadly very poor.
- Canonical is in a good position to publish a portfolio of outstanding Docker images. Our Rockcraft team is designing and implementing an elevated Docker image experience for the open source community.
- LXD is a modern system container and virtual machine manager that is widely used on Ubuntu, ChromeOS, and other Linux platforms.
- Members of the Kubernetes product team build MicroK8s for on-rails K8s, and Charmed Kubernetes for more sophisticated integration.
- The OpenStack team delivers Charmed OpenStack, OVN / OVS, and Ceph.
- Design and specify new features, building consensus on approach.
