<h3>Job Description</h3><div>Job Description<div><p>Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few roles based in offices.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) opens up new possibilities for Linux development in Windows environments. WSL offers a specific set of capabilities to bridge a containerised Linux into the Windows desktop, allowing for interesting new kinds of integration to take place at that boundary. It is a potent new way to enable open source developer experiences on Windows workstations. We are excited to explore these possibilities, helping to shape the future of Windows-and-Linux development. We work closely with the Microsoft WSL team to ensure that the latest capabilities in WSL are well integrated with Ubuntu. We work with other open source developer communities to ensure that WSL makes a happy place to work with their libraries, toochains and applications.</p><p>This team delivers the best Linux experience on WSL to a huge audience.
