Protecting the Open Source Community
Come and be a part of our industry-leading software security team at Canonical. We are on a mission to make the world a safer place, one vulnerability at a time.

We are looking for a highly skilled Ubuntu Security Engineer to join our ranks. As a key member of our team, you will play a critical role in monitoring, triaging, responding to, and documenting new and existing vulnerabilities in open source software. You will work closely with internal teams and external partners to identify and prioritize issues and track progress.

This role involves collaboration with other teams in the Ubuntu community and upstream developers where appropriate, to exchange or develop vulnerability patches and ensure that Ubuntu includes the very best security features. You will also have the opportunity to engage in security assessment and code review, internal tooling development, community engagement, security hardening, feature development, and industry collaboration participation.

The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of common security vulnerabilities and techniques for fixing them, as well as familiarity with coordinated disclosure practices. You will be skilled in one or more programming languages such as C, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, or PHP, and have excellent logic, problem-solving, troubleshooting, and decision-making skills. Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability are essential for this role.

In addition to your technical expertise, you will possess excellent communication skills and be able to clearly and effectively communicate with the team and Ubuntu community members. Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred) is a must, and the ability to travel internationally twice a year for company events is also required.

At Canonical, we offer a unique opportunity to work in a distributed environment with regular team sprints in person. You will receive a personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year, annual compensation review, recognition rewards, and a generous holiday leave policy. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome diversity in all its forms.
