Apr 2026Build a career at the heart of open source innovation with Canonical's global support team! Hear from Abdalla Elsharnouby , who went from associate to independently solving complex problems in just two years. His key to rapid growth? Structured mentorship and a deep diagnostic focus: “70% of the time we spend on a case is finding where the problem actually is.” Canonical engineers work closely with product teams and pursue certifications like the CNCF’s Kubestronaut program. As Abdalla reflects: “I’m pretty sure I would have never learned more in only two years in any other company.” Read his story here: https://lnkd.in/dtkpmRcn We’re hiring curious, eager-to-learn support engineers globally at all seniority levels.
