Toronto, Ontario, Canada Canonical Full time

At Canonical, we're seeking a highly skilled Data Center Infrastructure Specialist to join our team. As a Data Center Infrastructure Specialist, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of our lab in the Toronto area, which we use for Ubuntu server certification of US based silicon and server designs. You'll use software that deploys and configures servers and network switches to operate the data centre and update its configuration, make sure the hardware and cabling is perfectly organised and inventoried, handle hardware deliveries and their onboarding and commissioning. You will work with a mixture of hardware: cutting edge new silicon that Kernel Team and Partner Engineering teams work on to make them run Linux extremely well, as well as established hardware to make sure new versions of Ubuntu are smooth and fast. We run our data centres using software-driven operations, and you need to be familiar with Python software development to be effective in this role.

We are a remote based company, but we expect the suitable candidate to be based in Toronto as you will be required to work on-site at our lab 4-6 days per calendar month. If you love hacking in your home lab, have good Python skills, and are curious about data centre hardware, you will love this opportunity.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Operate a fully automated server lab with the latest server and network silicon from leading vendors, remotely and while on-site, making sure it remains available to other teams.
  • Maintain accurate inventory and layout of the hardware in the data centre.
  • Receive, install and configure new hardware.
  • Actively exercise MAAS functionality by using integrations with testing and scheduling software such as Testflinger. Report issues and assist in troubleshooting.
  • Use your Python development skills to enhance software-driven operations of the data centre.
  • Improve and extend hardware and network monitoring through automation.
  • Collaborate with other MAAS engineers, other data centre hardware specialists, teams responsible for certifying hardware for Ubuntu, kernel engineers and other teams who use the hardware lab.

We are looking for someone with a strong background in data centre operations, Linux administration, and Python programming. You should have excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with a globally distributed team of passionate engineers.

What we offer:

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person.
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2000 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.
