The posting

Accelerate your technical career by joining Canonical in a high-impact, multi-disciplinary role.. You'll be working from our London office, which hosts our events, customer demos and visitors, in an event space with professional live video, audio and streaming equipment. You'll wear three hats: Linux and cloud support engineer, owner of the office's technical infrastructure, and one of the people running the live production at our events. You'll own your cases from first contact to resolution, bringing in colleagues or senior engineers when needed, and you'll keep the technology running when it matters most, with people watching. While professional broadcast or AV experience is not required, a strong technical curiosity for audio/video systems and the composure to manage live, high-stakes environments are a must.

Location: Office Based in London, England.

The role entails

  • Office technology: Own the technical state of the London office (network, devices, meeting spaces, AV), including onboarding new colleagues, and know how it all fits together.
  • Live events: Run the technology for events and customer demos, from set-up and live operation through to tear-down, and coordinate external crew for larger events.
  • Customer support: Own your cases end to end, working with customers by ticket, remote session and live conversation, and with engineering teams to turn code fixes into customer outcomes. Set clear expectations and keep your commitments.
  • Ubuntu lifecycle: Understand the Ubuntu development process well enough to give customers realistic timelines for fixes.
  • Knowledge: Write and maintain knowledge base articles so lessons learned are shared.

What are we looking for in you

  • Exceptional written and spoken English, and the ability to explain technical complexity clearly and warmly
  • An exceptional academic record at high school and university, with an undergraduate degree in a technical subject or a compelling narrative about your alternative path
  • A builder's streak: something you've set up or run for other people on a deadline, such as a home lab, hackspace, student tech crew, live sound, streaming, or school or club IT
  • AV curiosity: real interest in audio, video and live production, or a clear appetite to learn it
  • Composure and care: you like helping people and stay calm when a high-stakes moment, including a live event, gets tense
  • A track record of going above and beyond for teams or customers
  • Hands-on experience supporting Linux systems, plus any of: virtualization or cloud (KVM, OpenStack), containers (Docker, LXD/LXC, Kubernetes), storage (block, object, network), or networking (bonding, firewalls, bridging, switching, MTU tuning)
  • A troubleshooting mindset (logs, stack traces, OS and application-level causes) and programming fundamentals in any language

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
