Canonical is building a comprehensive automation suite to provide multi-cloud and on-premise data solutions for the enterprise.
The data platform team develops managed solutions for a full range of data stores and data technologies, spanning from big data, through NoSQL, cache-layer capabilities, and analytics; all the way to structured SQL engines (similar to Amazon RDS approach).
We are facing the interesting problem of fault-tolerant mission-critical distributed systems and intend to deliver the world's best automation solution for delivering managed data platforms.
Location: This is a Globally remote role.
The data platform team is responsible for the automation of data platform operations, with the mission of managing and integrating Big Data platforms at scale.
This includes ensuring fault-tolerant replication, TLS, installation, backups and much more; but also provides domain-specific expertise on the actual data system to other teams within Canonical.
This role is focused on the creation and automation of infrastructure features of data platforms, not analysing and/or processing the data in them.

As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open source projects and the platform for AI, IoT and the cloud, we are changing the world on a daily basis.

We expect excellence - in order to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do.
