Engineering Manager, Managed Services at Canonical

This role is ideal for a seasoned technical leader with a deep background in Linux ecosystems and distributed systems. Since this position oversees the "BootStack" team, you should have a strong track record in either high-level software engineering (Python, Go, C++) or managing complex cloud operations. A solid grasp of OpenStack and a commitment to disciplined engineering processes are essential for navigating their managed services environment. As a pioneer in remote-first work, Canonical offers a truly global environment with travel perks, including twice-yearly international sprints to align with your distributed team. While base salary varies by location, the package includes an annual performance bonus, a $2,000 yearly professional development budget, and travel upgrades for long-haul company events. This is a high-standard, "excellence-driven" culture suited for those who thrive without a traditional office. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have professional experience managing engineering teams within OpenStack or Ubuntu/Debian environments. * Are comfortable overseeing SLAs for global customer deployments and modern cloud topologies. * Value "sprint-based" travel (up to 20%) to collaborate with international colleagues in person. * Prefer a disciplined, agile environment that prioritizes maintainable code and rigorous testing.
