Ubuntu Security Engineer

Canonical is building a team dedicated to providing security coverage across a wide range of ecosystems and environments, working to make the world a better, safer place. We are hiring an Ubuntu Security Engineer to join an industry-leading security engineering team and help protect the open source community and Ubuntu users from emerging threats. You will work with some of the best and brightest people in technology to monitor, triage, respond to, and document new and existing vulnerabilities in open source software. You will collaborate with internal teams and external partners to identify issues, prioritize them, and coordinate remediation. This role requires international travel at least twice a year, usually for one week. It also requires the ability to be productive in a globally distributed team through self-discipline and self-motivation.

The role entails analyzing, fixing, and testing vulnerabilities in open source packages, keeping track of vulnerabilities in the Ubuntu ecosystem, collaborating with other teams in the Ubuntu community and upstream developers, auditing source code for vulnerabilities, and building features and tools to help teams strengthen the security of their products.
