Canonical Bogota, D.C., Capital District, Colombia

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders across sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person in locations around the world to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.

This is a technical management role to lead a team that develops Python and Golang micro-services powering our global software distribution engine behind the Snap Store and Charmhub.io marketplaces. We are transforming the experience people have with open source software by expanding the range of software we can deliver through this system. If you value clean APIs, believe that great engineers ship software calmly and regularly against an agile plan, and know that tests are the key to velocity and reliability, you’ll fit right in.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to engineering a highly scalable SaaS product. You will have the opportunity to learn from Canonical’s world-class security team as we deliver capabilities safely to customers worldwide.

As an Engineering Manager at Canonical, your primary responsibility is to run an effective team and develop the colleagues you manage. You will develop and review code as a leader, but the best way to improve the product is to keep the team focused, productive, and unblocked. You will help them grow as engineers, do meaningful work, and work well with colleagues and the community. You will influence culture, facilitate technical delivery, and regularly reflect with your team on strategy and execution. You will collaborate with other Engineering Managers, product managers, and architects to produce an engineering roadmap with ambitious yet achievable goals.

We expect Engineering Managers to be fluent in the programming language, architecture, and components their team uses. Code reviews and architectural leadership are part of the job. A commitment to healthy engineering practices, documentation, quality, and performance optimization is essential, as is fair and clear management and maintaining a high-performing team.

This is a great opportunity to learn how to engineer a highly scalable SaaS product and to learn from Canonical’s security team as we deliver capabilities safely to customers around the world.
