As a Kernel Engineering Manager, you will step into a pivotal leadership role overseeing the engineers who build, maintain, and optimize the Linux kernel that powers millions of systems globally. Our platform, Ubuntu, is in widespread use in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. You will collaborate closely with the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers to deliver a world-class operating system.
We do not require prior direct people management experience for this role. Instead, we are looking for individuals who possess a solid technical foundation, a proven track record of technical leadership or project delivery, and a strong desire to learn how to lead complex, system-level projects and the engineers who build them.
The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing, making this an exceptional opportunity to grow your career into the core of open-source technology leadership.
Location:
Working from home, worldwide. We have kernel teams and openings in every time zone and with the notable exception of Taipei, Taiwan, have no offices and therefore no pressure to work from an office.

a culture of continuous learning, feedback, open-source collaboration, and accountability within the team.
What we are looking for in you
Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer, Tech Lead, or similar role with a strong desire to transition into a formal management position (no prior direct management experience required).
Solid technical background in systems software, C programming, or operating systems concepts. Direct experience with the Linux or other operating system kernels would be highly regarded, but is not essential.
Prior experience developing with software packaging formats, with direct Ubuntu/Debian/Snap experience being highly regarded.
Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers, guide complex technical projects, or drive architectural decisions.
Leadership potential and a commitment to skills development and mentorship.
Confidence to respectfully speak up, exchange feedback, and share ideas without hesitation.
Professional written and spoken English with excellent presentation skills.
