Software Engineering • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering, particularly with Go (Golang) — your experience includes developing tools that enhance the developer experience and streamline workflows. You are passionate about open-source software and understand the nuances of working in immutable environments, which allows you to create solutions that resonate with developers.

Your familiarity with Linux is extensive — you appreciate its capabilities and are adept at leveraging its features to build robust applications. You have experience with Docker, which enables you to create containerized applications that are easy to deploy and manage across various environments.

You possess a keen eye for experience design — you understand that the tools you create should not only be functional but also intuitive and enjoyable to use. Your ability to think critically about user workflows allows you to identify pain points and innovate solutions that improve productivity.

You thrive in a collaborative environment — working with cross-functional teams excites you, and you enjoy sharing knowledge and learning from others. Your communication skills are strong, allowing you to articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively.

Desirable

Experience with cloud technologies and services is a plus, as it complements your work on developer tooling. Familiarity with modern IDEs and SDKs from major publishers like NVIDIA, Intel, and AMD will enhance your contributions to the team.

What you'll do

In this role, you will be responsible for developing a new open-source developer experience tool that integrates seamlessly with Ubuntu. You will rethink traditional developer workflows, aiming to preserve the best aspects of Linux while enabling developers to work efficiently in cloud environments.

You will collaborate closely with other engineers and stakeholders to design and implement features that enhance the usability of the tool. Your work will involve writing clean, maintainable code and participating in code reviews to ensure high-quality standards are met.

You will also engage with the developer community to gather feedback and iterate on your designs — understanding user needs is crucial for creating tools that truly resonate with software engineers.

Your contributions will help free developers from tedious environment setups, allowing them to focus on what they do best — building innovative solutions across various domains such as Robotics, MLOps, and IoT.
