Python/Go Software Engineering Manager
Canonical is seeking
experienced Python/Go engineering managers to build highly performant and
secure identity and access management solutions that will be used across all
company products. From Ubuntu One SSO to Juju, LXD and MAAS your team will define the way
Canonical users, clients and community members access their favorite open
source applications.
This is an opportunity for a software engineering manager with a passion for distributed systems operations to help us transform the future of identity management at Canonical. Experience in the identity and access management (IAM) field is desirable but not required. You will work with upstream open source projects, alongside internal teams to deliver high quality software that can be deployed on bare metal, public cloud and Kubernetes.
As the identity team
engineering manager you will bring significant software development
experience, Kubernetes knowledge and a keen eye for software design,
performance and security. You will be responsible for working with product
management to define the technical vision for the products, managing the team
backlog, reviewing code and coaching younger team members.
You will be involved in
all the aspects of the software development process: you will design software,
write high-quality code and tests, provide insightful code reviews, write
documentation and help to troubleshoot issues.
In addition to the
engineering behind the project itself, you’ll have the chance to work with
industry-leading teams inside Canonical, ensuring your work is backed by
rock-solid data stores, and highly observable using our Kubernetes-based Observability
stack. You’ll work with broader open source communities, participating in
“hackfest” events, webinars and conferences.
