Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution, is searching for highly skilled senior software engineers, tech leads, or team leads who are ready to take the next step in their careers by transitioning into engineering management. As a Kernel Engineering Manager, you will step into a pivotal leadership role overseeing the engineers who build, maintain, and optimize the Linux kernel that powers millions of systems globally. Our platform, Ubuntu, is in widespread use in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT.
