Descrizione del lavoro

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder led, profitable and growing. We are hiring a UX Designer for Infrastructure to work with the exceptional engineering teams at Canonical, creating open‑source tools that are used to build clouds and manage clusters of compute globally.

Our design team is on a mission to turn complex, open‑source software into efficient, intuitive products that can change how complex systems are built and what open source is capable of for enterprise IT. We are looking for a talented and technically oriented user experience designer, who shares our ambitions.

This role sits in the design team reporting to the Infrastructure design manager.

Location: This role will be based remotely in the EMEA region.

The role entails

• Building tools that enable everyone to build their own cloud experiences (MAAS, LXD, MicroCloud and Canonical k8s)
• Collaborating with product managers and engineers to shape the future of the Data Center: Self‑sovereign Clouds
• Supporting deeply complex products with the process of design and UX heuristics
• Working to evolve and evangelise design systems that drive consistency and efficiency
• Understanding the broader scope of your work and its numerous interconnected constraints
• Supporting one of our working groups to enable Canonical design’s horizontal efforts

What we are looking for in you

• Exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
• Bachelor’s or equivalent in User Experience, Design, or STEM or a compelling narrative about your alternative chosen path
• Excitement about building things and working with real hardware
• Knowledge and passion for user experience, technology and design
• Commitment to continuous learning and improvement – curious, flexible, scientific
• Result‑oriented with a drive to finish work and celebrate success
• Confidence in user research practices
• Engagement with the latest design research and innovation
• Ability to travel internationally twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long

UX designers should be excellent communicators who are at ease working with a complex mix of engineers, designers and executives. They represent us at cross‑functional company meetings and must present their design position with clarity and precision. They should be confident and excited to take on complex design challenges. They should also be able to connect their design leadership to the strategic vision of the company.
