Canonical

Backend Software Engineer - Stores

 0 days ago Apply
Description 
  <h2><strong>Summary</strong></h2>

This is an exciting opportunity for an exceptional software engineer passionate about open source software, Linux, and Web Services at scale. Come build a rewarding, meaningful career working with the best and brightest people in technology at Canonical, a growing international software company.

Canonical's Store team develops and operates a large system of backend services that power the Snap Store and Charmhub.io marketplaces. Our services are built primarily in Python, with a bit of Golang.

We have some exciting challenges ahead including continuing to scale our production architecture, significantly expanding the range of software we can deliver through the system powering our marketplaces, and enhancing our offering for the booming world of IoT and for large Enterprise solutions.

If you have a passion for clean APIs, have a bias towards shipping, and believe that automated tests are the key to higher velocity and reliability, you'll fit right in.

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate remotely with a globally distributed team.
  • Write clean web service APIs to support both CLI and web frontend clients, using Python (and optionally Golang).
  • Design and implement new features and enhancements from spec to production and ongoing operations at scale.
  • Review code and technical designs produced by other engineers.
  • Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions.
  • Work remotely with global travel for 2 to 4 weeks for internal and external events.

Who you are

  • You have demonstrated professional proficiency in developing public-facing APIs and web applications using Python.
  • You have a broad technology base but favour backend code and infrastructure.
  • You know your way around relational and non-relational databases and can effectively design data models that perform well, and tune queries to access them.
  • You are comfortable with Ubuntu as a development and deployment platform.
  • You have demonstrated strong academic performance in Computer Science, STEM or a similar degree.
  • You love technology and working with a diverse set of talented people.
  • You are curious, flexible, articulate, and accountable.
  • You value soft skills and are passionate, enterprising, thoughtful, and self-motivated.
