Cloud Field Engineering Manager at Canonical

This role is designed for a senior technical leader who is equally comfortable in a high-stakes presales meeting and deep in a Linux shell. You should be a "player-coach" who excels at building high-performing engineering teams while remaining a hands-on expert in cloud infrastructure. Canonical places a high value on academic excellence and a rigorous, disciplined approach to engineering management. The position offers a unique "remote-first" culture with global travel for team sprints and customer meetings. While the base salary is not disclosed, Canonical provides a structured environment with annual reviews, a performance-based bonus, and a dedicated $2,000 yearly professional development budget. You will have a massive impact on the open-source ecosystem, specifically within the Ubuntu and Kubernetes portfolios. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep technical expertise in Kubernetes, OpenStack, or major public clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure). * Enjoy the hybrid nature of technical presales combined with project delivery. * Are a passionate mentor who finds more satisfaction in team growth than individual commits. * Are comfortable traveling up to 25% for internal sprints and client engagements.
