Our platform, Ubuntu, is very 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 1200+ colleagues in 75+ 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 engineers to work across the breadth of our Ubuntu Engineering organisation – engineers who care deeply for quality, performance and resilience in software, engineers who are just as comfortable with designing and engineering new software as they are with packaging, integrating, testing and shipping the incredible catalog of open source software provided by the Ubuntu repositories.
Our engineers integrate the freshest open source software, provide robust upgrade paths and engineer the future of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not just the world's most deployed open source operating system, it's a platform that enables innovation for millions of users across the globe. Our community represents the full breadth of the developer experience; from students, hobbyists and freelancers to high‑performance engineering and creative teams in corporate and academic environments.
Key Teams Foundations : maintaining foundational software: architectures, package managers, compilers, tool chains, bootloaders, file systems and core utilities
Server : leading the design, evolution and future of our Ubuntu Server distribution
Desktop : driving Ubuntu Desktop, our future immutable desktop:
Ubuntu Core Desktop, WSL, gaming technology, and a suite of modern applications for the desktop crafted with Flutter
Debian Crafters : a new team responsible for the forward movement, maintenance and overall health of the Ubuntu archive: one of the most abundant repositories of open source software available today
Areas of Work Development : design, build and ship new foundational systems software and applications in Rust, Go, Flutter, and Python

Packaging : a combination of Debian and Snap packaging to ship software in the distribution
Automation : build and maintain the machinery responsible for building, testing and shipping Ubuntu
Distro Engineering : the maintenance and evolution of a Linux distribution and its repositories
