Canonical is a unique tech company - global, remote first, open source, with 650 professionals across 50 countries - our goal is to be the world’s best, not biggest, global software company. With almost every team remote by default, Canonical sets the pace on the 21st-century digital workplace.

Canonical and Ubuntu are at the forefront of cloud and IoT computing, helping customers master the challenge of operations on hybrid cloud, bare metal, and container-based systems.  We’re recruiting people that love Linux, automation, operations, and are interested in cracking some of the world’s toughest problems at scale.

All of these people could move to a tech hub and work for a FAANG but they choose Canonical because of our mission and our approach to the workplace.
