Job Specifications
Our mission is to build a next-generation private cloud infrastructure, combining KVM, Ceph, and SDN technologies to create a data center scale cloud that 'just works' and provides a mission-critical cloud for edge and core enterprise deployments. We're hiring engineering managers with experience in high-quality microservice architectures and high-performance team leadership who also have deep familiarity with Linux kernel, virtualisation, storage and networking.
LXD components span the entire software stack from low-level kernel features to the upper level management API/CLI. Our most effective engineers are fluent in all these layers, and able to anticipate the consequences of design and engineering choices elsewhere in a complex distributed system.
As an engineering manager at Canonical you must have a solid technical background, but your responsibility is to run an effective team and develop the colleagues you manage. You are expected to help them grow as engineers, do important work, do it outstandingly well, find professional and personal satisfaction, and work well with colleagues and the community. Technical leadership experience and a background in software engineering are necessary prerequisites for this role. You will be expected to lead, challenge, and develop engineers, positively influence the culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work with your team on strategy and execution.
The successful candidate will have experience leading successful, collaborative engineering teams, and demonstrate the ability to solve challenging distributed systems problems and deep knowledge of Linux.
Location: This is a remote position available in EMEA and the Americas.
What you will focus on
Lead a team of remote engineers
Develop talent through coaching, mentoring, feedback and hands-on career development
Set and manage expectations with other engineering teams, senior management, and external stakeholders
Advocate and advance modern software development practices
Participate in the engineering process through code and architectural review
Engage with teams at Canonical, the open source community and partners
Work from home with global travel for 4 to 6 weeks per year for internal and external events
What we are looking for in you
You understand modern Linux cloud computing technologies, including networking, storage, containers and K8s
You love developing and growing people and have a strong track record of doing it
You are focused on success and the delivery of timely, high quality software
You have a Bachelor's or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM or similar degree
You have strong written and verbal technical communication skills
You have experience programming in C and/or Go.
What we offer you
We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
Annual compensation review
Recognition rewards
Annual holiday leave
Maternity and paternity leave
Employee Assistance Programme
Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues

- Job Description
- Use your deep C++ skills on Windows and MacOS to build an amazing open source developer experience with Multipass, the workstation mini-cloud at your fingertips which provides Ubuntu and appliance VMs on demand for build, test and prototyping. The Multipass team is hiring a Software Engineer to join our distributed team. We greatly value quality in our code, and great user experience. Multipass is published for macOS, Windows, and also Linux. Think of it as a workstation mini-cloud. At its simplest you can simply say multipass launch and you will get a new VM on your workstation. You can feed that VM data, just as you would on a public cloud like AWS, Azure or GCP. The goal is not to be a full cloud of course. The goal is to give developers a local cloud on their workstation, which they can use to run builds in the background, or to try cloud appliances, or to test their own cloud deployments and cloud-init scripts, free of charge. People sometimes use it as a build farm on a shared server, for example. As a Software Engineer you are expected to play a leadership role designing, mentoring, reviewing and of course coding. Location: This is a remote position available in the EMEA region only. What you will focus on Ensure Multipass is easy and intuitive to use Architect new features and design the user experience Write high-quality code to create new features and fix bugs Review code and architecture as part of Canonical's engineering process Collaborate proactively with a distributed team Debug, track down and fix issues encountered by our users Foster the open source community and support customers when needed Travel internationally for up to two weeks, twice a year, for company events What we are looking for in you Cross-platform development experience on macOS and/or Windows Expertise in modern C++ development Experience with software testing and test-driven development Extremely high personal standards for code quality, testing and design Knowledge of hypervisor technologies such as Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM, and QEMU Open source experience and involvement Knowledge of CI systems a plus Capacity to learn quickly about new systems and techniques Excellent communication skills in English - both verbal and written Bachelor's or equivalent in Computer Science, STEM or similar degree What we offer you We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.
