Descrição da oferta de emprego

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 enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include leading public cloud and silicon providers, as well as industry leaders across sectors. We have a global, distributed team of over 1200 colleagues in more than 80 countries, with few office-based roles. Teams meet periodically in person at locations worldwide to align on strategy and execution.

We are founder-led, profitable, and growing.

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to expand the MAAS team. Our mission with MAAS ("Metal as a Service") is to provide a top-tier solution for building and managing private bare-metal infrastructure, offering a cloud-style on-demand API for physical server provisioning, network configuration, and storage. We seek engineering managers with experience in high-quality software development and high-performance team leadership, with deep familiarity with Linux on physical servers, Linux storage, and data center networking.

MAAS components cover the entire software stack: from hardware detection and provisioning to the web interface, API, and CLI. Successful engineers are fluent across these layers and can anticipate the impacts of design choices in a complex distributed system.

At Canonical, you need a solid technical background, but your primary responsibility is to lead an effective team and develop your colleagues. You will help them grow, perform outstanding work, find personal and professional satisfaction, and collaborate effectively. Technical leadership and a background in software engineering are prerequisites. You will lead, challenge, and develop engineers, influence company culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work on strategy and execution. You will also collaborate with other engineering teams, such as cloud-init, LXD, and cloud services.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate leadership, deep Linux knowledge, and the ability to solve challenging distributed systems problems.

Location: This is a remote position available in EMEA or the Americas.

1. Leading a distributed engineering team in your time zone
2. Talent development through coaching, mentoring, and career planning
3. Managing expectations with other teams, management, and stakeholders
4. Promoting modern software development practices
5. Participating in code and architecture reviews
6. Engaging with broader teams, open source community, and partners
7. Traveling for global events (4-6 weeks per year)

We seek candidates with:

1. Strong academic background and a degree in a technical field
2. Confidence in communication and feedback exchange
3. A record of exceeding expectations
4. Leadership and mentorship skills
5. Passion for technology and personal projects
6. Work ethic and confidence working with motivated colleagues
7. Excellent English communication skills
8. Experience with Linux (Debian/Ubuntu preferred)
9. Interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, accountability
10. Appreciation for diversity and multicultural work environments
11. Self-motivation and thoughtfulness
12. Result-oriented mindset and ability to meet commitments
13. Willingness to travel internationally twice a year
14. Understanding of modern Linux cloud technologies (networking, storage, containers, K8s)
15. Programming experience in Python and Go
