 The company is founder led, profitable and growing.
 
 
 We are hiring an
 
 Engineering Manager as we expand the MAAS team.
 
 Our mission with MAAS ("Metal as a Service") is to provide the best solution for building and running private bare-metal infrastructure, putting a cloud-style on-demand API in front of physical server provisioning, network configuration, and storage. We're hiring engineering managers with experience in high-quality software development and high-performance team leadership who also have deep familiarity with Linux on physical servers, Linux storage and data center networking capabilities.
 
 
 The Canonical MAAS team is responsible for delivering our Metal As A Service (MAAS) hyperscale provisioning technology. Ubuntu strives to be the most scalable, cloud ready server distribution and MAAS is our platform to get Ubuntu on bare metal servers. MAAS is a rapidly evolving software stack written in Python and Go. Its components span the entire software stack: from low-level hardware detection and provisioning, to the upper level management web interface, API, and CLI. Our most effective engineers are fluent in all these layers, and able to anticipate the consequences of design and engineering choices elsewhere in a complex distributed system.
 
 
 Canonical is seeking passionate technical leaders who are eager to drive innovation in one of Canonical's flagship data center products. You will play a key role in reshaping the future of data center technology through open source management platforms. MAAS aims to revolutionize data center management at scale starting from day zero deployment to long term data center expansion and maintenance.
 
 
 Technical leadership experience and a background in software engineering are necessary prerequisites for this role. You will be expected to lead, challenge, and develop engineers, positively influence team and company culture, facilitate technical delivery, and guide strategy and execution. In addition to these responsibilities, you will be expected to collaborate across engineering. The MAAS team regularly interfaces with teams responsible for cloud-init, LXD, and our public cloud offerings.
 
 
 The successful candidate will have technical leadership attributes and can demonstrate the ability to solve challenging distributed systems problems.
