Enterprise Account Executive - Spanish speaker

Enterprise Account Executive - Spanish speaker at Canonical.

Open source software is the new default in the enterprise, and Canonical is the new challenger to major enterprise software vendors. Canonical delivers open source software from the data center to cloud and edge. Our Ubuntu Linux distribution is the leading platform for public cloud compute and the favorite platform for software engineers, data scientists and AI developers. Our mission is to accelerate the adoption and quality of open source globally, and our goal is to ship the most software on the planet by cores.

A tidal wave of open source innovation is the next phase of the entire enterprise software industry, and we aim to be the most compelling way to ride that wave.

Our customers include Global 500 enterprises and startups. We are expanding our product range from Ubuntu to full enterprise solutions in infrastructure and applications. We can deliver software defined storage, private cloud solutions, container runtime environments, as well as databases, message queues, identity, observability, analytics, machine learning and web publishing capabilities. Customers love the idea that they can get security compliance and support for everything open source from a single company.

Our goal is to have more solutions on tap than any other vendor, and we have built unique capabilities to make that possible across every cloud, every class of compute and every category of application.
