Join to apply for the Engineering Manager, MAAS role at Canonical

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is 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 1200+ colleagues in more than 80 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 as we expand the MAAS team . Our mission with MAAS (“Metal as a Service”) is to provide the best solution for building and running private bare-metal infrastructure, putting a cloud‑style on‑demand API in front of physical server provisioning, network configuration and storage. We are hiring engineering managers with experience in high‑quality software development and high‑performance team leadership who also have deep familiarity with Linux on physical servers, Linux storage and data center networking capabilities.

The Canonical MAAS team is responsible for delivering our Metal As A Service (MAAS) hyperscale provisioning technology. Ubuntu strives to be the most scalable, cloud‑ready server distribution and MAAS is our platform to get Ubuntu on bare metal servers. MAAS is a rapidly evolving software stack written in Python and Go. Its components span the entire software stack : from low‑level hardware detection and provisioning, to the upper level management web interface, API and CLI. Our most effective engineers are fluent in all these layers, and able to anticipate the consequences of design and engineering choices elsewhere in a complex distributed system.

Canonical is seeking passionate technical leaders who are eager to drive innovation in one of Canonical’s flagship data centre products. You will play a key role in reshaping the future of data centre technology through open source management platforms. MAAS aims to revolutionise data centre management at scale, from day zero deployment to long‑term data centre expansion and maintenance.

Technical leadership experience and a background in software engineering are necessary prerequisites for this role. You will be expected to lead, challenge and develop engineers, positively influence team and company culture, facilitate technical delivery and guide strategy and execution. In addition to these responsibilities, you will be expected to collaborate across engineering. The MAAS team regularly interfaces with teams responsible for cloud‑init, LXD and our public cloud offerings.

The successful candidate will have technical leadership attributes and can demonstrate the ability to solve challenging distributed systems problems.
