Job description

Engineering Manager for IAM (Identity and Access Management)

Join to apply for the Engineering Manager for IAM (Identity and Access Management) role at Canonical.

Canonical is seeking an experienced engineering manager to build high-performing Go and Python services and secure identity and access management solutions used across all company products. Your team will define how Canonical users, clients, and community members access their favorite open source applications, from Ubuntu One SSO to Juju, LXD, and MAAS.

This role offers an opportunity for a software engineering manager passionate about distributed systems operations to help transform the future of identity management at Canonical. While experience in IAM is desirable, it is not mandatory. You will collaborate with upstream open source projects and internal teams to deliver high-quality software deployable on bare metal, public cloud, and Kubernetes.

As the identity team engineering manager, you should bring significant software development experience, Kubernetes knowledge, and a keen eye for software design, performance, and security. Responsibilities include working with product management on the technical vision, managing the team backlog, reviewing code, and mentoring team members.

You will be involved in all aspects of software development: designing software, writing high-quality code and tests, conducting code reviews, documenting, and troubleshooting issues.

You will also work with industry-leading teams within Canonical, ensuring your work is supported by robust data stores and highly observable systems using our Kubernetes-based Observability stack. Additionally, you'll engage with broader open source communities through hackfests, webinars, and conferences.

Who you are

• Proven experience hiring and leading high-performance software engineering teams
• Experience with Go and Python software development
• Ability to design and implement complex, distributed systems
• Experience with container technology and Kubernetes
• Strong understanding of security and performance in software/infrastructure
• Experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems
• Knowledge of IAM technologies and standards is a plus but not required

Canonical is a growing international software company working with the open-source community to deliver Ubuntu, the world's best free software platform. Our services help businesses reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance security with Ubuntu.

We are committed to fostering a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds enhances our work environment and products. We welcome applications from all identities and backgrounds for fair consideration.
