Engineering Director, Devices Software Engineering at Canonical

This role is for a high-caliber technical leader with a deep background in low-level Linux systems and hardware enablement. You are likely an "engineer's director"—someone who can still audit a patch or architectural spec while managing other managers. The position is centered in Taipei to oversee a world-class certification lab focused on continuous quality for Ubuntu across x86, ARM, and RISC-V architectures. The standout feature of this position is the mission to revolutionize Linux certification from a "point-in-time" check to a continuous, life-cycle process. You’ll lead a global team but benefit from a stable base in the Taipei office. Canonical offers unique perks including a $2,000 annual learning budget, performance bonuses, and international travel for team "sprints" twice a year. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have an exceptional track record in system software engineering (specifically Debian/Ubuntu) and embedded systems. * Experience managing managers and scaling high-performance engineering teams. * Are passionate about open-source sustainability, including hardware energy consumption and carbon footprint tracking. * Possess a strong academic background and a "leadership by example" work ethic.
