Join to apply for the Engineering Manager - Security Standards and Hardening role at Canonical

As the most widely used Linux distribution, Ubuntu underpins the security of the entire internet. The role of Security Engineering Manager directly impacts the safety and security of millions of users worldwide. Join a team of security experts dedicated to protecting the open-source ecosystem and driving innovation. Your leadership will be instrumental in addressing emerging threats, developing robust security measures, and ensuring the continued integrity of Ubuntu. This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference and leave a lasting legacy on the digital landscape.

As we place ever more trust in software and data security in our increasingly connected world, Canonical's mission to deliver the world's best open source platform comes with a responsibility : to set the highest possible standard for software security, not only for the OS, but also for the wide range of open source infrastructure and software that developers enjoy within the Ubuntu ecosystem. With Canonical's Ubuntu being the leading open source platform for large-scale cloud and edge deployments, we are increasingly called upon to help customers meet strict security requirements such as FIPS, CIS, STIG, FedRAMP and the new CRA.

This role is about leading the charge to set the security standards for open source software across the Ubuntu platform, from desktops, servers and edge devices to cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes and OpenStack, by certifying core components to meet industry standards and guiding development teams across the company in security best practices. We work primarily within the areas of cryptographic modules (FIPS 140) and system hardening, where we collaborate with industry partners including CIS and DISA to define and build secure operating system deployments.

An Engineering Manager is responsible for line management and career guidance. The ability to develop engineering talent, to represent your team and product from a technical perspective, and to drive collaboration with other teams and customers are all critical to success in this role.

What you will do in this role

• Lead and develop a team of engineers, ranging from graduate to senior
• Coach, mentor, and offer career development feedback
• Identify and measure team health indicators
• Implement disciplined engineering processes
• Represent your team and product to stakeholders, partners, and customers
• Develop and evangelise great engineering and organisational practices
• Plan and manage progress on agreed goals and projects
• Support our products and customers to meet strict product security requirements such as FIPS, CIS, STIG, FedRAMP and the new CRA
• Support the work addressing specific cryptography modules (FIPS 140) and system hardening efforts with indrustry partners, including CIS and DISA
