    VP, Software Engineering

    Required Skills And Experience

    Candidates should have a track record of successful product delivery in the software industry, the ability to speak compellingly to a global industry audience, the ability to plan and organise across multiple products and teams, clear leadership skills, an appreciation for open source, and hunger for commercial success.

    Exceptional academic results at high school and university
    Degree qualification in Computer Science or Software Engineering
    Passion for high quality, usable, fast and reliable software
    Extensive management experience with multiple reporting teams
    Confidence in public speaking
    Exceptional work ethic
    Ability to travel internationally for company and industry events
    Successful startup experience preferred
    Public company experience preferred
    Open source experience strongly preferred
     

    We are an ambitious organisation with the goal to be the primary partner for most industry players and end-users of open source, but we are also humble – our primary mission as a platform and an aggregator is to serve those who innovate on open source rather than competing with them. We don’t create a new database – we enable others to create and distribute new open source products, and our strategy must be as good for them as it is for us. Our success depends on the success of others. We benefit from the growth of the major public clouds, of open source startups, of semiconductor companies, and of the businesses that choose to build on open source and Ubuntu – and we value their success as much as our own.

    We believe that open source will be the foundation of all enterprise computing, from the edge to the cloud. Today, we deliver the leading open source operating system, Ubuntu, but we believe that Ubuntu is the tip of the iceberg and we would like to serve the wider market for applications, services and solutions with equal success.

    You will need to be exceptional, organised and deeply motivated by Canonical’s values and strategy to pursue one of these roles. You will need to understand how Canonical is different, and what that difference means competitively, commercially and socially. For the right candidate, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead a category of open source and the de facto standard experience that millions of developers and businesses have with it.

    Your technology interests may include cloud computing, IoT, web systems, back-end data stores, scale-out infrastructure or Linux itself. You should have a gift for software design and implementation, and enjoy a highly professional environment with careful choices of technology, architecture, data design, and user interface. You should have broad-based knowledge of Linux, networking, software development, databases, API design and possibly web presentation layers.
