Canonical is building a comprehensive automation suite to provide multi-cloud and on-premise data solutions for the enterprise.
The data platform team is a collaborative team that 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.
We are looking for candidates from junior to senior level with interests, experience, and willingness to learn around Big Data technologies,such as distributed event-stores (Kafka) and parallel computing frameworks (Spark).
Engineers who thrive at Canonical are mindful of open-source community dynamics and equally aware of the needs of large, innovative organisations.Location: This is a Globally remote role.What your day will look like: 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.
