Canonical Software Engineer interview: Python, Docker, Linux, and Kubernetes rounds

Canonical·Software Engineer·Reported Jan 2026
Technical ScreenMedium

I interviewed for the Software Engineer role through a long, executive-heavy process with multiple technical rounds. The questions covered Python, Docker, Linux, and Kubernetes, and I spoke with senior leaders and team leads.

I didn't receive an offer. After all the stages and conversations, the final decision was described as a skills-set mismatch.

Location: India. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: No offer.
