Join to apply for the Senior UX Designer role at Canonical

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 Senior UX Designer to drive the design team and be accountable for whole-team performance, delivery, quality and completeness.

Not only will you be delivering outstanding UX experiences, but also generating and implementing ideas for improvement that impact the whole team.

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 an exceptional user experience designer, who shares our passion.

This role sits in the design team reporting to one of the UX design managers.

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

The role entails

  • Working with the open source community and Canonical customers to research new features and improvements
  • Collaborating with product managers and engineers to shape the future of Canonical products
  • Providing direction to the design team, keeping our efforts aligned with product strategy and best practices
  • Working to evolve and evangelise design systems that drive consistency and efficiency
  • Tackling systems-level problems with numerous interconnected constraints
  • Spearheading end-to-end design processes for challenges of various scales
  • Shaping one of our working groups to drive Canonical design forward horizontally

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
  • 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.
