Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Canonical - Jobs Full time

The Partner Engineering team works with the leading silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu to get the most from each new chip. Our goal is to collaborate with specialist engineers from our partners to integrate next-generation features and performance enhancements for upcoming hardware, while also ensure a common operating experience for their users.

This role is a fast-paced, problem-solving role that's challenging yet very exciting. The right candidate must be resourceful, articulate, and able to deliver on a wide variety of solutions across iot, desktop, automotive or server and data center technologies.

As a Partner Engineering Manager at Canonical you will lead an engineering team that works across the full Linux server stack from kernel to AI workloads, to optimise Ubuntu for the latest silicon. You will manage relationships with our key technology partners by ensuring timely delivery on agreed project milestones.

As a lead for strong engineers, technical leadership and a solid background in software engineering is a must, so that you're able to challenge and grow your team members. Code reviews and architectural leadership are part of the job. As manager, the commitment to healthy engineering practices, documentation, quality and performance optimisation are equally important technical responsibilities, as is the requirement for fair and clear management, and the obligation to ensure a high performing team. You will have the opportunity to influence the culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work with your team on strategy and execution.

  • You have experience working with open source communities and licences
  • You have experience working with Python, C, C++
  • You have experience working directly with customers, going beyond resolving their technical issues, to interpreting their business challenges and effectively communicating how your solution will meet their needs
  • You have experience managing software engineers with a track record of planning, delivery and quality
  • You can work in a globally distributed team through self-discipline and self-motivation.
  • You have experience collaboration across multiple internal teams, building trust and delivering results
Additional skills that you might also bring
  • Experience with server technologies, including UEFI firmware, GPU computing, RDMA/Infiniband and virtualization stacks
  • Experience with server IoT / Embedded experience – from board and SoC, BMCs, bootloaders and firmware to OS, through apps and services

  • Basic understanding of security best practices in IoT or server environments
  • Good communication skills, ideally public speaking experience
  • Some experience with Docker/OCI containers/K8s
  • Experience working with CI automation platforms such as GitHub
  • Experience with performance benchmarking and profiling
