Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu, one of the most widely deployed Linux distributions. It publishes Ubuntu for desktops, servers, cloud instances and connected devices, and sells the commercial support, security maintenance and management tooling that organisations need to run it in production.
Its commercial products sit around the open source distribution rather than replacing it. Ubuntu Pro extends security patching across a much larger set of packages and for longer support windows than the free release. Landscape handles fleet management and compliance across large estates of machines. The company also maintains infrastructure software including MAAS for bare-metal provisioning, Juju for application orchestration, LXD for system containers, Charmed OpenStack and Charmed Kubernetes, and Snap for cross-distribution packaging.
Canonical is headquartered in London and operates as a remote-first company, with employees distributed across a large number of countries and periodic in-person team sprints. Its hiring process is unusually structured and written, which the company describes openly on its careers material. Its customers span public cloud providers, telecommunications operators, financial institutions, automotive and robotics manufacturers, and research institutions.
