The role of an Engineering Manager at Canonical
As an Engineering Manager at Canonical, you must be technically strong, but your main responsibility is to run an effective team and develop the colleagues you manage. You will develop and review code as a leader, while at the same time staying aware that the best way to improve the product is to ensure that the whole team is focused, productive, and unblocked.
You are expected to help them grow as engineers, do meaningful work, do it outstandingly well, find professional and personal satisfaction, and work well with colleagues and the community. You will also be expected to be a positive influence on culture, facilitate technical delivery, and regularly reflect with your team on strategy and execution.
You will collaborate closely with other Engineering Managers, product managers, and architects, producing an engineering roadmap with ambitious and achievable goals.
We expect Engineering Managers to be fluent in the programming language, architecture, and components that their team uses, in this case popular open-source machine learning tools like Kubeflow, MLFlow, and Feast.
Code reviews and architectural leadership are part of the job. The commitment to healthy engineering practices, documentation, quality, and performance optimisation is as important as the requirement for fair and clear management, and the obligation to ensure a high-performing team.
