  • Work from home with global travel for up to 6 weeks per year for internal and external events
Who you are

  • You have strong written and verbal technical communication skills in english

  • Practical experience with at least 1 of Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or Amazon Web Services

What Canonical Offers:

  • Learning and Development, with annual budget for professional development
  • Annual Compensation Review
  • Recognition Rewards
  • Annual Leave
  • Priority Pass for travel
  • Flexible working options and schedules
  • Work remotely with a talented globally distributed team
