The future is already here, as open source. Canonical delivers it to the world. We play a critical role in broadening the benefits of open source to more people and more industries than ever before. This means bringing new work opportunities to people regardless of their location too.
Fully distributed since 2004
We're a remote-first international company. I get to work every day with people from all over the world, which is just amazing.

Built on trust
As a remote-first organisation, trust is our currency. At Canonical, you get unprecedented flexibility in how you organise your day and freedom to explore new roles within the company. We trust each other to be organised and effective in a distributed workplace. If you value teamwork and are committed to being a good counterpart to colleagues around the world, you will love working here.
I love the trust and the freedom that exists in our organisation. Trust and freedom to explore new things.
