Linux Engineering Manager - Optimisation for Latest Hardware at Canonical

This role is designed for a technical leader with a deep background in the Linux ecosystem and hardware enablement. You should have a proven track record of managing distributed engineering teams and experience working with Debian packaging or Linux distributions.

You will be at the forefront of hardware innovation, ensuring Ubuntu is optimized for next-generation silicon before it even hits the market. Perks include an annual priority pass for travel and a focus on continuous learning and development within a high-growth open-source environment. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have professional experience with Debian packaging, the Linux stack, and high-performance server hardware. * Are comfortable managing a remote, distributed team of senior software engineers. * Enjoy a mix of technical leadership and commercial partner relationship management. * Can travel internationally up to twice a year for team sprints and collaboration.
