Senior Design Researcher - User Science at Canonical

This role is designed for a seasoned Senior Design Researcher who excels at both hands-on user science and organizational influence. The ideal candidate has a strong academic background and a portfolio that proves they can translate complex data into actionable product strategies. Because Canonical deals with deep infrastructure like Ubuntu, a strong technical curiosity and the ability to communicate with engineering stakeholders are essential. As a pioneer in remote work, this position offers a "work from anywhere" (within EMEA) setup with a focus on high-level collaboration. Standout perks include a $2,000 USD annual professional development budget and global "sprints," where you’ll travel 2–4 times a year to meet international colleagues in person for strategy and networking. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are an expert in both qualitative and quantitative research methods (interviews, A/B testing, and data analysis). * Possess strong visual design skills to turn research findings into memorable, highly professional documentation. * Advocate for a "User Science" culture that moves beyond simple UX testing into end-to-end development standards. * Enjoy digging into technical subjects and open-source software ecosystems.
