Engineering Manager, MAAS

We are hiring an Engineering Manager as we expand the MAAS team. Our mission with MAAS (“Metal as a Service”) is to provide the best solution for building and running private bare-metal infrastructure, putting a cloud-style on-demand API in front of physical server provisioning, network configuration, and storage. We're hiring engineering managers with experience in high-quality software development and high-performance team leadership who also have deep familiarity with Linux on physical servers, Linux storage and data center networking capabilities. 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. The successful candidate will have leadership attributes, deep knowledge of Linux, and can demonstrate the ability to solve challenging distributed systems problems. The role entails leading a distributed team of engineers, talent development through coaching, mentoring, feedback and career planning, and setting and managing expectations with other engineering teams.
