Embedded Linux Field Engineering Manager

Join to apply for the Embedded Linux Field Engineering Manager 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 enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include leading cloud providers, silicon manufacturers, and industry leaders. We operate with a global distributed team of over 1200 colleagues across 75+ countries, with few office-based roles. Teams meet periodically in person at various international locations to align on strategy and execution.

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

We are hiring an Embedded Linux Field Engineering Manager to lead a regionally-focused team of Field Engineers in Presales and Professional Services, assisting customers with solution architecture, design, and delivery.

Location: This is a remote role, managing a team in one of three geographies: Americas, EMEA, or APAC. You need to be based in one of these regions to oversee the team spanning multiple time zones.

Our IoT mission is to enable companies to build secure, connected devices. Canonical provides the Ubuntu OS and kernel, with secure update and management mechanisms. Our customers develop mission-critical control systems, gateways, and appliances requiring high security and quality. We aim to extend this security to consumer electronics and devices.

Our Field Engineers are thought leaders in solving complex problems. They are technologists passionate about embedded Linux strategy and delivery, helping customers achieve technical and business goals, and demonstrating how Canonical’s open source approach benefits emerging edge compute fields. They also develop their colleagues’ skills and understanding of technology, customer business needs, and personal growth.

This role requires a blend of skills: deep Linux knowledge, proficiency in coding and scripting, experience with low-level Linux boot, BIOS, firmware, embedded software development, and a proactive, results-driven mindset.

The role entails:

• Leading and developing a team of Field Engineers (junior to senior) in Presales and Professional Services
• Promoting Canonical technologies and acting as a trusted advisor to solve customer problems
• Managing a remote team within a single major time zone
• Coaching, mentoring, and providing career development feedback
• Monitoring team health indicators
• Implementing disciplined engineering processes
• Representing your team and products to stakeholders, partners, and customers
• Developing and promoting engineering and organizational best practices
• Planning and tracking progress on goals and projects
• Participating in leadership team activities and collaboration

What we are looking for in you:

• Strong academic background from high school through university
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
• Extensive experience with embedded Linux (Yocto or similar)
• Deep Linux experience, preferably with Debian or Ubuntu
• Fluency in at least one of Golang, Python, C, C++, or Rust
• Experience managing small teams
• Customer engagement experience
• Professional proficiency in English (spoken and written)
• Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
• Result-oriented with a strong drive to meet commitments
• Ability to communicate technological benefits to business stakeholders
• Quick learner and humble in approach

Additional desirable traits include RTOS experience, multilingual skills, and prior remote, diverse, distributed work experience.

What we offer:

• A distributed work environment with biannual in-person team sprints
• An annual learning and development budget of USD 2,000
• Annual compensation reviews
• Recognition rewards, holiday leave, and parental leave
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Opportunities for travel and team meetups
• Travel perks for company events

About Canonical: Canonical pioneers open source innovation, publishing Ubuntu—the platform for AI, IoT, and cloud. We hire globally and uphold high standards, expecting excellence from our team.
