The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with over 1200 colleagues in more than 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 and Developer Experience to work with the exceptional engineering teams at Canonical and play a vital role in improving developer experience globally.

Our design team aims 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 minded user experience designer who shares our ambitions.

This role reports to one of the Infrastructure and Developer Experience design managers or the Director.

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 developer experience
• Supporting deeply complex products with design and UX heuristics
• Evolving and evangelizing design systems that drive consistency and efficiency
• Understanding the broader scope of your work and its interconnected constraints
• Supporting our working groups to enable Canonical design's horizontal efforts

What we are looking for in you

• Exceptional academic record from high school and university
• Bachelor's or equivalent in User Experience, Design, STEM, or a compelling alternative narrative
• Knowledge and passion for user experience, technology, and design
• Commitment to continuous learning and improvement—curious, flexible, scientific
• Result-oriented with a drive to complete 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, comfortable working with engineers, designers, and executives. They must present their design positions clearly and confidently, connect their leadership to the company's strategic vision, and be excited to tackle complex design challenges.
