Lead our effort to get Ubuntu fit for mission critical environments like automotive, aerospace, industrial robotics and other highly regulated uses.

Ubuntu is the most widely used Linux in the enterprise, for developers, and at home. We work to enable innovation in all of those sectors, as a gateway to the huge world of open source. People love the ease of use and low cost that we have brought to enterprise Linux.

You will report directly to our Vice President of Engineering Excellence and work closely with company-wide engineering leadership to define and execute this vision.

Additional Skills That You Might Also Bring:
