They will operate in a wider security organisation, run a high performing security team and improve Canonical's security posture.

Candidates should have deep, hands-on expertise with a range of open source and proprietary security tooling and practices, which they can integrate into a holistic next generation security solution across the breadth of Canonical's interests.The SecOps team's mission is not only to secure Canonical, but also to contribute to the security of the wider open source ecosystem.
