Ubuntu Security Technology Manager
The role of a Ubuntu Security Technology Manager
This is an exciting opportunity to work on making Ubuntu the most secure out-of-the-box operating system in the world. The work of the Apparmor team is strategically important to Ubuntu's security posture, safeguarding both end-users and Canonical's diverse range of products, including Ubuntu Core, Snaps and Microk8s.
You will work alongside fantastic security professionals already onboard at Canonical, and share your time between contributing technically, and managing team members and projects. You will also get to closely collaborate with various other Canonical Engineering teams (Kernel, Core, Snapd, Foundations), the upstream open source community, and our business partners.
This role would suit either an experienced manager of high performing software development teams, or a very proficient technical lead who is excited to take on a management responsibility. You will need to be passionate about Linux and aspire to be an integral part in its distribution to millions of users worldwide.
