Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in more than 80 countries and very few office-based roles.

We are hiring a
GitOps Engineering Manager
aspiring for a world-class devops and gitops engineering management challenge, bringing together operations management, software engineering and product development, and team leadership in a single high-value role. You will need to be a Linux and operations expert, as well as a great manager capable of leading a high-performance team, to excel in this role.
Our mission is to pioneer and prove new and better approaches to large-scale IS. We support Canonical and Ubuntu operations, but we also help shape Canonical's managed application service offerings, raising the bar on devops and cloud-native operations. We take infra-as-code to the next level, blazing a trail to next-generation model-driven operations. We not only aim to automate every process that underpins our business, we also share that automation as open source packages which others use to drive their own operations.
We work across the full stack, from bare metal to Kubernetes, including cloud and virtualisation. We also work across the full range of infrastructure, from public cloud to private cloud and edge.
We have fully distributed, home-based teams in EMEA, APAC and the Americas. You will lead a team in your time zone, and report to a global director who may not be in your time zone.
Location
: This role will be based remotely in the APAC region.

Represent the IS team to stakeholders, customers, and internal teams
Organize, coordinate and drive internal projects
Mentor engineers to improve their skills

Implement structured engineering and operations processes
Ensure proper team focus on priorities, milestones, and deliverables

What we are looking for in you

Proven experience of software delivery using infrastructure as code
Proven experience managing devops teams for SAAS or similar offerings
Understanding of testing methodologies and maintainable code quality
Technical aptitude for understanding complex distributed systems
Experience with cloud topologies and technologies
Ability to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long
An exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
Nice-to-have skills
Experience with Ubuntu system administration
Experience with agile software development methodologies
Experience working in and managing distributed teams

We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
