Canonical Dubai, United Arab Emirates Posted: 19 Dec 2024
Lead our effort to get Ubuntu fit for mission-critical environments such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial robotics, among other highly regulated uses. Ubuntu is the most widely used Linux distribution in enterprise settings, for developers, and at home. We aim to enable innovation across these sectors, serving as a gateway to the vast world of open source.
Canonical is seeking a Development Lifecycle Engineer with a passion for engineering excellence and open source, who has experience implementing agile lifecycle release trains across multiple product sets. The purpose of this role is to bridge Canonical's open source engineering processes with the requirements of regulated technology platforms in terms of compliance and certification. This is not merely a documentation task; we strive to enhance delivery quality, security, and the developer experience.
In this role, you will lead, challenge, and influence the culture and work environment. You will collaborate with all engineering stakeholders to demonstrate Canonical's ways of working, defining and implementing continuous improvement processes and establishing qualification requirements to support engineering quality standards. This includes working with teams to positively challenge their processes and enhance existing development lifecycle practices, as well as establishing strategic relationships with external working groups, committees, and partners. You will report directly to the Vice President of Engineering Excellence and work closely with company-wide engineering leadership to define and execute this vision.
