From Ubuntu One SSO to Juju, LXD, and MAAS, your team will define how Canonical users, clients, and community members access their open-source applications.

This is an opportunity for a software engineering manager passionate about distributed systems operations to help transform the future of identity management at Canonical.

You will be involved in all software development aspects: designing, coding, testing, reviewing, documenting, and troubleshooting.

Additionally, you will work with industry-leading teams within Canonical, ensuring your work is supported by robust data stores and highly observable via our Kubernetes-based Observability stack. You will also participate in 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 development
• Ability to design and implement complex, distributed systems
• Experience with container technology and Kubernetes
• Strong understanding of software/infrastructure security and performance
• Experience designing or operating large-scale distributed systems
• Knowledge of IAM technologies and standards is desirable but not essential
