Wellington, New Zealand Canonical Full time

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 1100+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the engineering team that delivers the essential components of Ubuntu - our system startup, compilers, language runtimes and toolchains, as well as networking and storage config and management. This is a fast-paced, problem-solving, highly technical role operating at the core of Linux server systems.

As an Engineering Manager on the Foundations team, you will be at the heart of driving Ubuntu. Working at the unique intersection of the open source ecosystem and enterprise technologists.

In this pivotal position, you'll lead and inspire your team of engineers to take Ubuntu to new heights. We are looking for someone with a deep understanding of Linux and Ubuntu with a passion for exceptional leadership. You will be expected to lead, challenge, and develop strong engineers, positively influence the culture, facilitate technical delivery and drive your team on strategy and execution.

Location: Globally remote

The role entails:

  • Lead and grow a team of distributed engineers
  • Demonstrate sound engineering principles through active and hands-on leadership
  • Be responsible for planning, estimation and execution
  • Work with product management to define the vision and strategy for Ubuntu
  • Collaborate with cross-functional leadership teams
  • Drive the advancement and adoption of the latest software development practices
  • Design, embrace, and evangelize great engineering and organizational practices
  • Grow a healthy, collaborative engineering culture in line with company values
  • Engage with other teams at Canonical to ensure alignment on product architecture and roadmaps
  • Work from home while meeting in person for company sprints. Sprints are typically twice a year for 1-2 weeks.

What we are looking for in you:

  • You have worked extensively with Linux distributions and are experienced with packaging technologies (e.g. deb, rpm, other)
  • You have demonstrated experience managing or leading a team of software engineers
  • High-quality software engineering knowledge in one or more of: Linux system architecture, boot process, Java/GCC/Python/Rust/Go toolchains, ARM and/or RISC-V
  • Engagement with open source communities and processes

What we offer colleagues:

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues
  • Priority Pass and travel upgrades for long haul company events
