Engineering Director

This is an Engineering Director position, responsible for the worldwide Sustaining Engineering team of software engineers at Canonical. This position reports to the VP Support at Canonical. The Sustaining Engineering group is a worldwide team of generalist open source software engineers, responsible for driving software issues reported by Canonical customers to successful resolution. We tackle problems in any package in Ubuntu, and for our largest customers, will engage on deep issues in upstream projects not yet packaged in the distribution. We are Canonical's open source special forces, or SWAT team, or firefighting ladder, as you prefer. We work on the hardest-to-debug production problems in the kernel, and we work in every programming language you can find in open source. Depending on your perspective this is either an absolute engineering nightmare or the world's best way to spend a fully paid day :) We take care over career and skills development for our colleagues, and we are in a unique position to offer engineers an incredibly wide range of topics into which they can delve deeply to become our first and best expert. As our customer base expands, and as we have become more confident to make service commitments to a wider and wider range of open source, we have expanded the range of technologies in which we can justify investing time and attention. We are now in a push to become the world's leading provider of open-source from the public cloud to the edge, from desktops to servers and IoT.
