Engineering Manager - Python and K8s at Canonical

This role is designed for a technical leader who balances software engineering expertise with people management. The ideal candidate has a strong background in Python and hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes operations. You should be someone who views internal Information Systems (IS) not just as support, but as a product engineering capability, focused on automating complex business workloads for high availability. Canonical offers a mature, remote-first environment with a global footprint. Standout perks include a $2,000 annual professional development budget, travel opportunities for worldwide team sprints (2-4 times a year), and travel upgrades like Priority Pass for long-haul trips. Compensation is localized based on your geography and reviewed annually, supplemented by a performance-driven bonus. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a proven track record of managing and mentoring engineering teams in a distributed environment. * Are an expert in Python and understand how to build stable, consumable APIs. * Are passionate about DevOps culture and "productizing" infrastructure workloads. * Enjoy high-level strategy but are still willing to contribute technically toward team goals.
