Software Engineering Manager (Backend SaaS)
Join to apply for the Software Engineering Manager (Backend SaaS) role at Canonical
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 enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT.
Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many 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 interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.
We are hiring an engineering manager to lead the reboot of our Landscape systems management solution for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is growing rapidly in the enterprise, with estates expanding from cloud, to bare metal servers, to vSphere clusters, and desktops and devices.
Ubuntu is easy to deploy and configure, one node at a time, but it is difficult to know where you stand on policy and compliance, patch management, or access control across a large estate.
Ubuntu used to be under the radar in the enterprise, but it is now becoming an official platform for many companies.
Those enterprises very much want a high quality way to manage their Ubuntu estate.
This role is the critical engineering leadership role for that mission.
Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source.
As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open-source projects and the platform for AI, IoT, and the cloud, we are changing the world of software.
We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company.
We expect excellence; to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do.
Most colleagues at Canonical have worked from home since our inception in 2004.
Working here is a step into the future and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.
Canonical is an equal opportunity employer.
We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination.
Diversity of experience, perspectives, and background create a better work environment and better products.
Whatever your identity, we will give your application fair consideration.
