Adelaide, South Australia beBeeEngineering Full time $100,000 - $150,000
Senior Technical Lead

Canonical is a leading provider of open-source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT.

The company is a pioneer of distributed collaboration, with colleagues in over 75 countries and few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly to align on strategy and execution.

This is a technical leadership role to oversee a team developing Python and Golang micro-services powering our global software distribution engine. The world sees it as the Snap Store and Charmhub.io marketplaces, but behind the scenes, it's a unified system understanding key concepts in software distribution - architectures, releases, branches, and more.

We are transforming the experience people have with open-source software by expanding the range of software delivered through this system. If you have a passion for clean APIs, believe great engineers ship software calmly and regularly against an agile plan, and know tests are key to higher velocity and reliability, you'll fit right in.

As a Senior Technical Lead, you will be technically strong, running an effective team, and developing your managed colleagues. You will develop and review code as a leader but focus on ensuring the whole team is focused, productive, and unblocked. You will help them grow as engineers, do meaningful work, and find professional satisfaction.

You will also be expected to facilitate technical delivery, collaborate closely with other leaders, and produce an engineering roadmap with ambitious goals.

  • Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead a remote team of engineers in your time zone
  • Develop talent through coaching, mentoring, feedback, and hands-on career development
  • Set and manage expectations with other engineering teams and external stakeholders
  • Collaborate with other leaders in the organization
  • Build clean web service APIs to support both CLI and web frontend clients, using Python (and optionally Golang)

Requirements:

  • Good experience in leading modern, agile software development practices
  • Experience in forming a healthy, collaborative engineering culture
  • Demonstrative experience of being a role model for sound engineering principles and contributing to team goals
  • Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events
  • Lovely knowledge and passion about software development
  • Focused on success and timely delivery of high-quality software
  • Nurture great team culture and spirit
  • Practical experience with Linux system administration

What We Offer:

  • Fully remote working environment
  • Personal learning and development budget of $2,000 per annum
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Parental leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues at 'sprints'
Technical Skills:
  • Strong technical skills in Python and Golang
  • Knowledge of Linux system administration
  • Experience with agile software development practices
