    Senior Director, Software Engineering - Düsseldorf, Deutschland - Canonical

    Canonical
    Default job background
    Beschreibung

    This is the general track for Engineering Director at Canonical, apply here if you are confident to run a project which spans teams and time zones, hiring and managing engineering managers and staff engineers.

    Canonical's largest software products are built by multiple teams working together under a single director of engineering.

    Once you have passed the first round of interviews we will discuss specific software products which would be a good fit for your interests.

    Our goal is to make open source easier, more reliable and more secure for deployment and development. We strive to be the provider of 'most software to most companies'.

    Our engineering directors set the pace and the direction to help teams achieve more than they realised they could, and feel proud of the result.

    Even though this is a senior management position, managing managers, we expect Engineering Directors to be outstanding developers with the confidence to lead by example across the full range of activities in their teams.

    You need to understand what great code looks like in the language and genre of your product - whether that is a web service, or a system daemon, or a desktop application, or a distributed system.

    You'll need to know how to drive testing and benchmarking to improve the clarity in your teams around quality and performance.

    We have director level roles across a wide range of engineering domains, including:

    Python and Golang
    C / C++ / Rust
    Data infrastructure
    Flutter
    Distro packaging and systems
    SAAS and web microservices
    Silicon enablement and embedded devices

    If your domain of expertise isn't listed above, yet you feel it's relevant to Canonical, then feel free to apply anyway.

    We will route you to the most suitable team.

    Location:
    The role is remote, with positions available in all time zones. It includes a requirement for global travel for twice per year, for trips up to two weeks long.
    Lead multiple teams of engineers, ranging from graduate to senior
    Develop your engineering managers and maintain Canonical culture
    Coach, mentor, and offer career development feedback
    Identify and measure indicators of team health and productivity
    Implement disciplined engineering processes and defend them
    Develop and evangelise great engineering and organisational practices
    Plan and manage progress on agreed goals and projects
    Be an active part of the leadership team, collaborating with other leaders
    Extensive management experience and confidence to set high expectations
    Outstanding Linux based software engineering track record
    Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
    A love of developing and growing people and a track record of it
    Experience in leading, coaching and mentoring software developers
    Organised and able to ensure your team delivers timely, high quality results
    You are knowledgeable and passionate about software development
    You have solid experience working in an agile development environment
    Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks each
    Performance engineering and security experience
    We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
    Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
    Annual compensation review
    Maternity and paternity leave
    Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long haul company events
    Canonical is a pioneering tech firm at the forefront of the global move to open source.

    As the company that publishes Ubuntu, one of the most important open source projects and the platform for AI, IoT and the cloud, we are changing the world on a daily basis.

    We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company. Canonical has been a remote-first company since its inception in 2004.

    Working here is a step into the future, and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.

    I understand that plagiarism, the use of AI or other generated content will disqualify my application.

    In which programming languages would you consider yourself an expert capable of setting an example for the team when subtle or tricky dynamics are at play, to ensure performance, correctness, test depth or memory efficiency?

    Outline the way promotion grew your responsibility there.


    Make reference to provincial, state or nation-wide scoring systems, rankings, or recognition awards, or to competitive or selective college entrance results such as SAT or ACT scores, JAMB, matriculation results, IB results etc.

    What was your bachelor's university degree result, or expected result if you have not yet graduated? We expect all colleagues to meet in person 2-4 times a year, at internal company events lasting between 1-2 weeks.

    We try to pick new and interesting locations that will likely require international travel and entry requirement visas and vaccinations.
