    Linux Server Software Engineering Manager

    The Partner Engineering team works with the leading silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu to get the most from each new chip.

    • Experience with one or more of: Ubuntu - kernel and userspace, deb/snap packaging, embedded linux, QEMU/KVM and/or OVS/OVN
    • Experience working directly with customers, going beyond resolving their technical issues, to interpreting their business challenges and effectively communicating how your solution will meet their needs
