Staff Engineer, Development Lifecycle at Canonical

This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader with a deep background in **agile process management** and high-stakes compliance. The ideal candidate has specialized experience in software quality standards (like **ISO/IEC 25010 or ASPICE**) and is capable of bridging the gap between rigorous industrial regulations and modern open-source development. You’ll be the primary architect of how Ubuntu is adapted for mission-critical sectors like automotive, aerospace, and robotics. This is a **fully remote** position with a global scope, offering a unique $2,000 annual learning and development budget and the opportunity to travel for company "sprints." While Canonical emphasizes a high-performance culture, they provide a structured compensation philosophy focused on global equity, alongside perks like a Priority Pass for travel and comprehensive parental leave. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have successfully led software certification efforts in highly regulated industries. * Are an expert in Linux environments and passionate about open-source engineering excellence. * Excel at transforming complex regulatory requirements into concrete engineering values and KPIs. * Enjoy mentoring teams and influencing organizational culture across different time zones.
