Diogo Sousa — Engineering Manager

My title/role should be above ☝🏻 My featured content should be below 👇🏻 Opinions expressed are my own and do not express the views or opinions of my employer. That's just how opinions work. 𝘐𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 is a pleonasm 🤷🏻 There will be clear signposts when speaking 𝘦𝘹 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘢 🪧 I am an Engineering Manager at Canonical, working in support of the Ubuntu Security Team’s mission of providing Canonical users with the most secure and reliable open source experience possible ⛑️ My day-to-day focus is on Ubuntu Pro’s Expanded Security Maintenance offering, prioritizing workloads and coordinating fixes across various source package repositories for all Ubuntu LTS releases 🧑🏻‍🔧 Through Ubuntu, we are positioned as a producer, distributor, and consumer of open-source software, resulting in a unique perspective on security matters. Still, I receive numerous solicitations from vendors who haven't done their research and don't align with Ubuntu's role and position in the ecosystem. While I understand you have a quota to meet, your time is best used elsewhere as I am a glacial lead with zero purchasing authority ❄️ Our hiring process is fully in-house and Talent Science ensures needs are met. No unsolicited headhunting or outsourcing offers, please ✋🏻 TL;DR: 🅽🅾 🆂🅾🅻🅸🅲🅸🆃🅸🅽🅶 ( •̀ ᴖ •́ ) Blatant disregard for these requests will be met with no engagement 👻 I am a Hiring Lead for Security at Canonical. To keep our process as unbiased as possible, I'll avoid connecting if I am aware that you're applying. I hold referrals in high regard, so I am disinclined to refer you if we did not work together 🙅🏻 If you are applying to Canonical (👉🏻 "Visit my website"), I am happy to answer questions, but understand that some matters will be out of scope to avoid biasing our process. Our website, FAQ, and blog offer a lot of information on how we hire, so kindly skip the small talk. Yes, the positions are open. Yes, they are remote and hiring worldwide 🗺️ Please be mindful before reaching out and don't ask to apply, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 📥 Outside professional endeavors (but still within arm's reach), I co-lead the OWASP Lisboa chapter, speak at conferences (see my Featured section 🎞️), teach classes, mentor people undergoing career upskilling, and write some content here and there ✏️ In my (truly) free time, you can find me cooking (still can't do baking), teaching math, expanding my movie collection, and playing board games (we can exchange 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘴) 🎲🎴 🚀 𝘗𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢 🌟
