Information Technology, 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. Canonical’s customers include the world’s leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. We are a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1,200+ colleagues in more than 80 countries and very few office‑based roles.

Location: This is a work‑from‑anywhere position available in EMEA or the Americas.

Engineering Manager – MAAS Team

We are hiring an Engineering Manager as we expand the MAAS (Metal as a Service) team. MAAS is a high‑performance software stack written in Python and Go that builds and runs private bare‑metal infrastructure. As Engineering Manager, you will lead, challenge, and develop engineers, positively influence team and company culture, facilitate technical delivery, and guide strategy and execution. You will work closely with cross‑functional teams such as cloud‑init, LXD, and our public cloud offerings.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a distributed team of engineers in your time zone.
  • Develop talent through coaching, mentoring, feedback and career planning.
  • Set and manage expectations with other engineering teams, senior management, and external stakeholders.
  • Advocate and advance modern software development practices.
  • Participate in engineering processes through code and architectural review.
  • Engage with broader teams at Canonical, the open‑source community and partners.
  • Travel to internal and external global events for 4–6 weeks per year.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science.
  • Exceptional academic track record from high school and university.
  • Proven experience delivering software using Python, Golang, or similar languages.
  • Experience with Linux system administration (Debian or Ubuntu preferred).
  • Familiarity with modern Linux cloud‑computing technologies, including networking, storage, containers and Kubernetes.
  • Technical aptitude for understanding complex distributed systems.
  • Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills.
  • Experience with agile software development methodologies.
  • Ability to mentor, develop, and support team members.
  • Result‑oriented with a personal drive to meet commitments.
  • Ability to travel internationally twice a year for company events up to two weeks long.

Nice‑to‑have skills

  • Experience with TypeScript using modern web frameworks such as React, Angular, Svelte or Vue.
  • Data Center infrastructure management and design.

What we offer

  • 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.
