Senior Design Manager (Infrastructure) at Canonical

This role is designed for a seasoned Design Manager with a deep technical curiosity and experience in the EMEA region. Ideal candidates come from a background in UX for complex technical products, such as developer tools, cloud infrastructure, or software distribution systems (e.g., packaging and CLI). You should have a proven track record of managing design teams through the full product lifecycle while navigating the nuances of open-source communities and cross-functional engineering stakeholders. As part of a pioneer in remote-first culture, you’ll enjoy a fully distributed work environment with the unique perk of "sprints"—international travel 2–4 times a year to collaborate in person. The company emphasizes long-term growth, offering a $2,000 annual learning budget and a structured career path. While the base salary is location-dependent to ensure global equity, it is complemented by annual reviews, bonuses, and travel upgrades like Priority Pass. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have managed design teams in technical domains like cloud infrastructure, data science, or AI. * Possess a portfolio that showcases high-quality UX work alongside "technical savviness." * Are highly organized and comfortable owning roadmaps and deadlines in a transparent project delivery environment. * Enjoy the balance of remote work with occasional high-energy, in-person global travel.
