Cloud Engineering Manager at Canonical

This role is ideal for a senior-level leader with a deep background in Linux infrastructure and distributed systems. You should have a "dual-threat" background—possessing both the software engineering chops (Python, Go, or C++) and the operational excellence required to manage mission-critical private clouds. Experience managing remote, distributed teams and a strong command of OpenStack are essential. As a globally remote position, you’ll enjoy a high degree of autonomy while staying connected through two to four international team sprints annually. Standout perks include a $2,000 annual professional development budget, travel upgrades for long-haul flights (Priority Pass), and a performance-driven bonus structure. This is a chance to work at the forefront of the Ubuntu ecosystem in a profitable, founder-led environment that has embraced remote work since 2004. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have professional experience managing OpenStack deployments and Linux system administration. * Are comfortable overseeing the "BootStack" managed service, balancing engineer velocity with customer SLAs. * Advocate for disciplined engineering processes, including rigorous testing and maintainable code. * Thrive in a remote-first culture but are willing to travel globally ~20% of the time for strategy and collaboration.
