We're enabling high-performing, rock-solid MongoDB deployments on any cloud or platform our customers choose.

Canonical is looking for an experienced Python developer with a background in MongoDB who will help us to build a fully managed MongoDB solution based on Juju. We're aiming to build the most reliable and secure way to deploy and operate MongoDB on machines, VMs, public cloud and Kubernetes.

- You are an accomplished senior Python programmer that enjoys challenging projects in mission-critical environments.
- You have experience operating and managing MongoDB clusters.

Enjoy a competitive salary, the flexibility to work and live where you wish, and the chance to work exclusively on impactful open source projects.
Canonical is proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. We truly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and background will lead to a better environment for our employees and a better platform for our users and customers.
