Canonical stands at the leading edge of the open source movement as the publisher of Ubuntu, the most widely deployed operating system in the world. We are best known for democratizing access to professional grade software for millions of developers and enterprises globally. Beyond just a product, Canonical is recognized for its commitment to security and stability, providing a trusted foundation for everything from public clouds and artificial intelligence to the smallest internet of things devices.
What makes Canonical truly different is its pioneering approach to global collaboration. Since our inception in 2004, the company has operated as a fully distributed, remote first entity with over 1000 colleagues across 75 countries. This borderless model allows Canonical to hire the best talent based on merit rather than geography, creating a multicultural environment that values diverse perspectives and deep technical curiosity over traditional office politics.
We value the high standard of excellence and the opportunity to work on projects that have a tangible impact on the future of technology. We aim to provide transparency throughout the recruitment process and emphasize continuous learning. Our culture encourages individuals to challenge existing frameworks and solve complex problems alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry.
Corporate social responsibility is built into the very DNA of Canonical through the Ubuntu philosophy, which translates to humanity towards others. Canonical fulfills this mission by making high quality software accessible to everyone for free. Additionally, we actively support several large open source foundations and maintain a dedicated sustainability resource group. Canonical focuses on education and innovation to reduce the environmental footprint of both products and operations, ensuring that the growth of technology aligns with a positive global impact.
