.Canonical Ubuntu is the most widely used OS for public cloud instances across every major public cloud.
Our team builds, tests, and publishes the base Ubuntu images used by millions to ensure optimal performance and security in their cloud estate.
We aim to deliver the very best public cloud VM experience, as well as specialized images for specific purposes on each cloud.
We work closely with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other world-class cloud partners to optimise Ubuntu for their infrastructure.
Our goal is to celebrate and enable their particular points of differentiation on their clouds, while also ensuring a common operating experience for their users.As an engineering manager, you need to bring both technical and management skills to the leadership of your team.
You will also need to represent the team in direct partner engagement.
You'll be responsible for the stability and functionality that our cloud users have come to expect.
You will strive to automate the delivery of existing and new Ubuntu image products applied to all modern workloads from web servers to GPU-aided AI for servers, VMs, and containers.As an engineering manager at Canonical, your primary responsibility is to the people you support: ensuring that they are growing as engineers, doing valuable work, and generally having a great time at Canonical.

You will have the opportunity to influence the culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work with your team on strategy and execution.We work in Python and Golang, and expect engineering managers to be fluent in the language, architecture, and components that their team is building with.
Code reviews and architectural leadership are part of the job.
As manager, the commitment to healthy engineering practices, documentation, quality, and performance optimisation are equally important technical responsibilities, as is the requirement for fair and clear management, and the obligation to ensure a high-performing team
