Engineering Manager- Ceph & Distributed Storage at Canonical

This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader with deep roots in software development and production-scale storage systems. The ideal candidate has transitioned from a hands-on engineering background (ideally Python and C++) into a management role, where they have experience leading distributed, high-performing teams. You should have a strong technical grasp of Ceph and the nuances of running scale-out storage clusters on Linux. Canonical offers a truly global, remote-first environment that emphasizes engineering excellence and open-source contribution. While you’ll work from home, you can expect significant international travel (up to 20%) for team sprints and events. This is a "player-coach" leadership opportunity where you will influence software architecture and best practices while actively mentoring engineers to grow their careers within a profitable, founder-led organization. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a track record of managing and coaching software engineers in an agile, remote environment. * Possess deep technical knowledge of **Ceph** and distributed storage architectures. * Are comfortable with a high-standard culture that values technical rigour and "raising your game." * Enjoy both people management and remaining technically involved in strategy and execution.
