Software Engineer - Secure Container Images

With more than 10 billion pulls, Canonical's container images are trusted by developers worldwide to build and run software securely and at scale. That trust rests on our commitment to hardened, production-ready images.

We are advancing the state of the art with a new generation of Ubuntu-based container images we call "rocks": minimal images engineered for performance and usability and backed by long-term security commitments. As a member of the team, you will own the path from upstream source to published image, turning open source software into tested, signed, and continuously maintained artifacts that developers can deploy with confidence.

This is fast-paced, multi-disciplinary software engineering. Because most of the software we package originates from third-party upstreams, you will work across a broad range of container technologies and hundreds of open source projects, often in several programming languages, integrating and maintaining them so they are easy to consume on Ubuntu. Automation is central to the role: you will build the pipelines that package, build, test, and publish images at scale.

Your seniority in this role will reflect your software engineering experience and your ability to mentor and guide more junior colleagues.
