Performance Engineer - Open Source
Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. 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 1000+ colleagues in 70+ 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 have created a new career path at Canonical for Performance Engineers who bring exceptional clarity to software performance, correctness and efficiency. We are adding these roles to every engineering team at the company. As an open source platform, we have teams that work at every level of the software stack - from the kernel up through server and desktop applications, all the way to the web. We are adding roles with this focus in every engineering team in the company, to act as drivers of performance engineering skills, tools, culture and insights to our entire product range . We have also created a central performance engineering team, where we will drive shared tools, dashboarding capabilities, measurement frameworks, analytical capabilities and skills. We call this career focus ' percorr ' because we have found that the same deep insights that enable sophisticated performance measurement and design also enable teams to improve their harnesses and frameworks for correctness. Understanding not only the application, but the runtime, the compiler, and the system, all the way down to the CPU, gives an engineer the ability to think creatively and with insight about the right things to measure, and the right ways to verify correctness. We have found that performance engineers will often improve the deepest and trickiest areas of our test harnesses, and unblock their teams to test and measure previously 'dark' aspects of their work. We also have teams that work with every major silicon vendor and cloud, with a particular emphasis on performance optimisation of the entire stack for that architecture, CPU family or hypervisor. Our goal is to ensure that Ubuntu users can select whatever platform they want for their workloads and know they have access to the very best performance and efficiency across the entire stack from kernel to codec. If they wish, we will enable performance and correctness engineers to move between products every two years, so that they have the opportunity to raise the bar for performance in an array of products over time, and also that teams have the benefit of fresh eyes on their processes, thinking, harnesses, dashboards and code. Our performance and correctness leads are expected to be truly exceptional individuals, and also leaders who are confident setting expectations of change, sharing insights and skills, running initiatives and programs. There is no way to move a meaningful codebase without also moving the people behind it. This is a career path for perfectionists and precision artists. Whether you have a particular language focus - C, C++, Rust, Golang, Python, Java, Flutter-Dart or others - or a particular love of the kernel or hardware or CPU instruction set, whether you see yourself as driving perceived user experience through performance or optimising the efficiency of data centers to reduce carbon footprint, this process is the best way to find a role at Canonical that speaks to your precision, rigour, insight and drive. <p&g

We're used by the world's leading AI labs, startups, and researchers to run compute-intensive workloads: training runs, inference, sandboxed code execution, and more. We need someone to own and grow our presence in academia and research. That means running our Modal for Academics program https://modal.com/academics: sponsoring courses and labs with compute credits, building relationships with professors and researchers at top institutions, and making Modal the default choice when someone needs GPUs for their next paper. The right person has lived in this world. You know how grant cycles work, how labs are structured, and how the conference publishing process actually runs. You've also shown you can operate beyond the lab, whether that's organizing events, building community, or working across institutional boundaries. In this role, you will: - Own and operate the Modal for Academics program end-to-end: handling inbound inquiries, overseeing grant decisions, onboarding, and follow-through. - Identify and pursue sponsorship opportunities with university courses, ML research labs, and academic conferences, with a bias toward work that's likely to be widely read and cited. - Build relationships with professors and researchers at top universities. - Partner with leading AI research labs on compute grants and collaborative programs. - Track outcomes: which grants produced papers, citations, talks, or downstream Modal adoption. - Represent Modal at academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, and others) and research-adjacent events. - Develop outreach templates, program documentation, and supporting content to scale inbound interest. REQUIREMENTS: - A PhD or research Master's from a strong program in ML/CS or with a large computational component. You know how grants work, how labs are structured, and how the conference process actually runs. - Evidence that you've operated beyond pure research: organizing a workshop, running a student group, working with a grants office, industry internships, or similar. - Strong written and verbal communication, including on technical matters. You'll be representing Modal to professors and researchers at top universities. - Good judgment about what's worth pursuing. Not every course sponsorship or lab partnership is equal. - Organized and self-directed. This role spans dozens of active relationships at any given time. - Comfortable working in-person in a fast-paced startup environment. Nice to have: - Experience as a conference organizer, area chair, workshop chair, or reviewer at a major ML conference. - Existing relationships with pr

THE ROLE: We're looking for engineers with deep AI/ML and low-level systems experience who want to build the best technical support experience in the world. This isn't a traditional support role — it's an engineering role where you happen to be closest to our customers. You'll split your time roughly 50/50 between working directly with customers and shipping fixes, features, and automation that improve Modal for everyone. When you help a customer debug a training run, you'll also fix the underlying issue in the platform. When you notice ten customers hitting the same friction point, you'll build the tooling or automation that eliminates it entirely. This role is for people who solve problems, not people who answer tickets. The problems you encounter are deeply technical and arise from running some of the most demanding AI workloads in the world. You'll be a member of our engineering team, contributing production code alongside the engineers building the core platform. The difference is that your roadmap is shaped by what you learn at the frontier of customer experience. You will: - Ship code that matters. Fix bugs, build features, and create automation that improves the experience for every Modal user — not just the one who reported the issue. - Work directly with customers. Help developers and ML engineers debug, optimize, and architect their workloads across Slack, email, and calls. - Build scalable systems. Design tooling, dashboards, and automated workflows that make support efficient at scale — delighting customers at the most important moments. - Close the feedback loop. Translate patterns you see in the field into concrete improvements — docs fixes, API changes, or new feature proposals. - Contribute to open source and technical content. Write examples, build demos, and publish content that helps the broader community succeed on Modal. REQUIREMENTS: - Accomplished in key areas. You bring depth in either low-level infrastructure or ML/AI, and you're not lost in the other. - Low-level infrastructure experience. Operating systems, file systems, networking, performance profiling, cluster management and distributed systems. - AI/ML engineering experience. Training models, optimizing inference, working with GPUs, or building ML infrastructure. - Automation mindset. Your instinct when you see a manual process is to eliminate it and you have the engineering background to make that happen. - Clear communicator. Can explain a systems issue to a customer, write a crisp bug report, and draft documentation, all while collaborating internally to ship improvements.
Linux Devices Software Engineer
This role is one of our general tracks. Apply here for all engineering teams at Canonical who work on low-level system technology on autonomous devices across all seniority levels. We hire careful and conscientious engineers who appreciate the challenge of memory, performance, battery and connectivity constrained code that has to work every time in an unreliable and unforgiving world, on x86, ARM or RISC-V silicon. Canonical Ubuntu is the leading Linux for software engineers, desktops, cloud and IoT. We bring open source to the world as a high-performance, safe and secure platform for enterprise computing, software engineering, and connected devices. These smart, connected devices have the potential to transform every industry. Classic Ubuntu – desktop or server – is widely used in embedded systems because of its developer focus and enterprise grade security maintenance. We partner with the world's most prominent silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu on their latest and greatest chips, as well as with major OEMs and ODMs (PC, servers and connected device manufacturers) to ensure that Ubuntu works perfectly on their hardware. But while classic, ‘deb’ based Ubuntu is ideal for developers, it has too much variability for appliance or connected device environments, where you want to know *exactly* what the state of millions or billions of devices might be. So Canonical builds Ubuntu Core, a fully containerised version of Ubuntu that is mathematically precise and rigorously secure. We are working on additional solutions for even smaller devices. We have several teams that focus on open source for embedded environments. We hire outstanding Linux software engineers with a passion for open source, innovation, cutting-edge hardware and software technologies in general. You will be expected to make significant contributions through high-quality design and code, and to develop your technical leadership. These roles include: - Ubuntu Core and snapd software development - Silicon software and optimisation engineers - Kernel driver and hardware enablement engineers - Hardware-centric Linux QA Engineers - Hardware Certification Engineers - Robotics engineers - Industrial IoT software engineers - Networking software engineers (switching, routing, access and SmartNICs) At Canonical you will have the opportunity to engage with the broader open source community. We're looking for individuals who can help build a thriving community, contribute to a broad range of technologies, and contribute to the deployment of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core across the widest range of devices. Location: we have remote roles open in every time zone. What your day will look like Based on the first round of interviews we identify specific teams where you might be an excellent fit, and conduct second round interviews with those teams. Our engineers: - Work with the latest Linux kernel and open source technologies - Deliver Ubuntu for the latest IoT and server-class hardware platforms - Integrate and maintain device-oriented software stacks - Write high-quality, well-designed software - Collaborate proactively with other globally distributed teams - Display technical leadership internally and within our external communities - Help our customers ship their apps and SDKs on Ubuntu - Build device OS images with Ubuntu Core, Desktop and Server - Optimise the Ubuntu kernel and libr
