Golang Engineering Manager, Commercial Systems at Canonical

This role is designed for a senior engineering professional with a strong background in Golang and a proven track record of managing high-performing teams. You should possess an exceptional academic background (top-tier high school and university results) and a deep interest in open-source systems. The position sits within the Commercial Systems unit, where you will lead teams focused on either mission-critical billing infrastructure or security-focused products like Livepatch. As a remote-first organization, Canonical offers a distributed work culture with unique perks, including twice-yearly international travel for team "sprints" and an annual $2,000 personal development budget. You will benefit from annual compensation reviews and a performance-driven bonus structure. This is an ideal environment for a manager who values high engineering standards, rigorous professional development, and the stability of a profitable, founder-led company. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have professional experience leading engineering teams in Golang, Python, or Java. * Excel in high-stakes environments where engineering quality and reliability are non-negotiable. * Are based in the EMEA region and enjoy working in a fully distributed, global team. * Possess a strong academic record and a "go-above-and-beyond" mindset to achieve results.
