This is a highly unusual opportunity to work on a new open-source developer experience tool. We are rethinking typical developer workflows, trying to preserve what people love about traditional Linux while enabling better work in immutable distro environments and with remote cloud resources. You'll join to work on a product that is deeply and securely integrated with Ubuntu desktop, modern IDEs, and SDKs from publishers like NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, and others. Our ultimate goal is to free developers from tedious environment setup across multiple industry domains such as Robotics, MLOps, and IoT. Come help us make Ubuntu the greatest platform for software engineers!
The role requires a deep interest in crafting tools for software engineers, taste in experience design, and benefits from experience with professional Linux-based software development, Linux system-level fundamentals, and containers. As a team, we value intellectual honesty in decision-making, peer reviews, and writing clear and maintainable code. The senior roles require a strong understanding of containers and the kernel semantics and capabilities that underpin them.
