We partner with the world's most prominent silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu on their latest and greatest platforms. We integrate next-generation features and performance enhancements in Ubuntu while also ensuring a common operating experience for their users.
We are hiring engineering managers who are passionate about operational systems, cutting-edge hardware and open source to lead the engineering teams working on enabling and optimizing Ubuntu on the latest x86, ARM, RISC-V, s390x and POWER systems.
We believe that Engineering Managers should be outstanding developers themselves. They should be completely at home reviewing a patch or a software design spec. They are trusted engineers who understand the importance of a whole-team effort in creating great products, and who enjoy seeing colleagues develop. They should contribute code themselves to set the standard for coding, but know that the code they write is far less significant than their ability to shape the whole team’s direction, focus and delivery.
An Engineering Manager is responsible for line management and career guidance. The ability to develop engineering talent, to represent your team and product from a technical perspective, and to drive collaboration with other teams and customers are all critical to success in this role.
You will be expected to drive healthy engineering practices, documentation, quality and performance optimisations as well as lead your team to deliver high-quality design and code.
You will have the opportunity to influence the culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work with your team on strategy and execution.
