Canonical , the publisher of Ubuntu Linux, is seeking a senior software engineer to lead an initiative to take the configuration and build of the Ubuntu Linux kernel to a new level of simplicity and automation to make it even easier to distribute to clients tailored to their specific system needs.

We are looking for an industry veteran who has ‘been there, done that’ across a broad range of the software stack and is able to draw on that experience to guide this new effort. You will be expected to take charge of the implementation from concept through delivery and strong leadership skills are a must along with a tenacious commitment to detail and strict adherence to project schedules.

While this role does not require previous Linux kernel internals development experience (although that would be highly regarded), a more in-depth grasp of the build system beyond typing ‘make’ on the command line is essential. Advanced git usage and kernel patching experience will also be critical to the role.

Location: Home-based in the Europe, Middle East, or Africa regions.

What the role entails

Lead the design and implementation of an advanced automated Linux build control system

Work closely with other engineering teams to deploy seamlessly into the Canonical ecosystem

Have no fear in delving into the depths of kbuild, kconfig, and make to determine the optimal solution to issues fac
