• Develop talent through coaching, mentoring, feedback, and hands-on career development
• Apply sound engineering principles and directly contribute toward your team’s goals
• Create and maintain productive relationships with stakeholders
• Set and manage expectations with other engineering teams, management, and external stakeholders
• Collaborate proactively with a distributed team and community
• Lead the ongoing development of Launchpad, the infrastructure on which great software like Ubuntu is built
• Advocate and advance modern, agile software development practices and help develop and evangelise great engineering and organisational practices
• Grow a healthy, collaborative engineering culture in line with the company values
• Actively engage with the broader leadership team
• Work from home with international travel up to 6 weeks per year for internal and external events

Who you are

• You have experience leading a distributed team to deliver features and manage production services at scale
• You love to mentor, develop, and grow people, and have an outstanding track record of doing so
• You are knowledgeable and passionate about technology
• You have experience delivering high quality software
• You have experience designing and evolving complex distributed systems

We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination.
