MAAS QA Labs Python Engineer (Toronto area)

As a MAAS QA Labs Python Engineer in Canonical, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of our lab in the Toronto area, which we use for Ubuntu server certification of US based silicon and server designs. You'll write and use software that deploys and configures servers and network switches, and solve difficult design problems related to doing this well and fast at scale. You will work with a mixture of hardware: cutting edge new silicon that Kernel Team and Partner Engineering teams work on to make them run Linux extremely well, as well as established hardware to make sure new versions of Ubuntu are smooth and fast. This role is a combination of software engineering focussing on reliable automated hardware commissioning and deployment, as well as testing, troubleshooting and experimentation focussing on improving reliability and performance of our software. You don't need to be an expert in all of these areas, but you need to be a good software engineer who is curious about complex distributed systems to succeed in this role.
