Ubuntu Engineering Manager at Canonical

This leadership role is designed for senior engineers or established managers who possess a deep technical grounding in the Linux ecosystem. The ideal candidate has an exceptional academic background and a track record of leading high-performing teams while remaining "close to the code." You should be comfortable working across languages like Python, Go, and Rust, with a genuine passion for the open-source community. The standout feature of this position is its "remote-first" global structure, offering true location independence with the exception of two mandatory international team sprints per year. While the base salary isn’t specified, the package includes a performance-driven annual bonus, a $2,000 USD annual professional development budget, and travel perks like Priority Pass for company events. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have professional experience in C/C++, Rust, Go, or Python within a Linux environment. * Are a technical leader who prefers to stay hands-on with architecture and code reviews rather than just doing administration. * Enjoy the challenge of managing distributed teams across multiple time zones. * Want to directly influence the roadmap of the world’s most deployed open-source operating system.
