Engineering Manager, MAAS

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 founder‑led, profitable and growing, 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.

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to expand the MAAS team. MAAS (“Metal as a Service”) provides 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. The MAAS team is responsible for delivering our hyperscale provisioning technology, a rapidly evolving software stack written in Python and Go that spans the entire stack from hardware detection and provisioning to the upper‑level web interface, API and CLI.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Leading a distributed team of engineers in your time zone.
• Talent development through coaching, mentoring, feedback and career planning.
• Setting and managing expectations with other engineering teams, senior management and external stakeholders.
• Advocating modern software development practices.
• Participating in the engineering process through code and architectural review.
• Engaging with broader teams at Canonical, the open‑source community and partners.
• Travelling to internal and external global events for 4 to 6 weeks per year.

We look for candidates with:

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science.
• Exceptional academic track record.
• 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:

• Typescript using modern web frameworks such as React, Angular, Svelte or Vue.
• Data center infrastructure management and design.

Benefits and compensation:

• Distributed work environment with twice‑yearly in‑person team sprints.
• Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year.
• Annual compensation review and performance‑driven bonus or commission.
• 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.

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