As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and maintaining specialist Python tools to support the developer build and publication process. The team takes responsibility for tooling that builds snaps, charms, and more recently, rocks.

Snapcraft allows developers to deliver app updates to millions of Linux systems automatically, eliminating the long tail of supported releases and complex install instructions. Snapcraft enables thousands of applications from over a thousand developers, including well-recognized names like Spotify, Slack, and Microsoft.

Likewise, Charmcraft enables collaboration between charmed operator developers, and publication on Charmhub, home of the Charmed Operator Collection. Charmed Operators enable developers to package software like databases, event queues, caches, observability tools, identity tools, and more, right alongside the operations code that enables teams to integrate and operate that software at scale from Day 0 to Day 1,000, and beyond.

And Rockcraft provides the means for container developers to build production-grade Ubuntu-based container images, regardless of their experience as a software developer. These container images are called Rocks and can be found in various popular container registries, like Docker Hub, offering an opinionated and consistent design that focuses on security while providing a homogeneous user experience across all rocks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and maintain specialist Python tools to support the developer build and publication process.
• Collaborate with the team to develop and implement tooling that builds snaps, charms, and rocks.
