TroisRivières, Canada Canonical Full time
Job Description

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. 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.

We are hiring Embedded Linux Consultants to expand our reach in mission-critical industries such as Automotive, Medical Devices, Industrial Systems, Robotics, and Telco, as well as Consumer Electronics. We are looking for candidates who are accomplished Linux plumbers. If you are someone passionate about Linux, who knows the plumbing of the OS inside and out, who is proficient with containerization, system debugging, and the likes, then please keep on reading - this may be a uniquely exciting opportunity for you.

The server edition of Ubuntu is already widely used in connected devices and industrial PCs. Our newer edition of Ubuntu for IoT, called Ubuntu Core, represents the state of the art in security and resilience for high-end appliances and equipment. Our customers include global brands in consumer and industrial electronics as well as automotive and robotics. We continue to expand our range of offerings to bring our security, management, and developer experience to the smallest Linux environments and devices. We recently added a real-time Linux capability and are working towards a range of certifications for these offerings. Together, this portfolio is Linux reinvented for optimal reliability, security, developer productivity, and footprint.

This career opportunity requires a unique blend of skills. Successful candidates will know Linux well and be proficient coders and scripters. They will have experience in low-level Linux boot, BIOS, firmware, and embedded software development methodologies. They also enjoy the pace of change and diversity of client engagements with driven and ambitious technology entrepreneurs. Competitive, business-focused technologists at heart, they are also dedicated team players that take pride in team and company wins.

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.

Location: This position is currently open in the following regions and countries: AMER, EMEA, Japan, and South Korea.

What your day will look like:
  • Engage customers during presales to gather requirements and explain our technology.
  • Elaborate solutions to be proposed to prospective clients.
  • Participate in the delivery of select projects related to Embedded Linux.
  • Convey market requirements to key stakeholders in our organization, and sometimes participate in the development or refining of generic solutions to unlock market potential.
  • Be both a customer advocate and a trusted advisor to Canonical.

What we are looking for in you:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
  • Extensive Linux experience - Debian or Ubuntu preferred.
  • Solid embedded Linux experience (Yocto, Buildroot...) or RTOS.
  • Fluency in at least one of Golang, Python, C, C++, or Rust.
  • Professional written and spoken English in addition to the local language.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Result-oriented, ability to multi-task.
  • A personal drive to meet commitments.
  • A humble learner and quick study.
  • Willingness to travel up to 30% of the time for customer meetings, company events, and conferences.
  • For positions in Japan and Korea, the successful candidates will also be able to speak and write the local language at a professional level.

Additional Skills That You Might Also Bring:
  • Experience with customer engagements is a plus but not a requirement.

What we offer colleagues:
  • 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.
  • Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long haul company events.
