Job Description

About the job

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 Junior UX Designer for our Design Team. Junior UX Designers at Canonical have a vital role in the success of Ubuntu, the Canonical developer experience and our Infrastructure and Enterprise products.

There is an expectation of growth in order to deliver outstanding UX experiences and take ownership of the design of your product.

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 passionate user experience designer, who shares our ambitions.

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
Engaging with the design team to keep our efforts aligned with product strategy and best practices
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
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.

What We Offer You

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
Annual compensation review
Recognition rewards
Annual holiday leave
Maternity and paternity leave
Employee Assistance Programme
Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues
Priority Pass and travel upgrades for long haul company events
