Engineering Director - Business Data at Canonical

This role is designed for a high-level engineering leader with a background in business systems (Salesforce/NetSuite) and data engineering. The ideal candidate has a strong technical foundation and a proven track record of managing multiple teams or managers. You should be comfortable overseeing a diverse portfolio that includes Python-based integrations, open-source data mesh tools (Trino, Airbyte), and enterprise ERP/CRM configurations. Canonical offers a mature, fully remote work culture centered on "global distributed collaboration." While the role is remote (EMEA-based), it features unique travel perks, including twice-yearly international sprints and a $2,000 annual professional development budget. Compensation is performance-driven and reviewed annually, with a focus on recognizing excellence in a founder-led, open-source environment. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience leading engineering managers and scaling distributed software teams. * Are proficient in the Python ecosystem and modern data governance/ETL tools like Trino or Temporal. * Excel in high-growth environments where you bridge the gap between business operations and technical architecture. * Possess an exceptional academic background and a drive for engineering "best practices."
