Usability Engineer - User Science at Canonical

This role is ideal for a mid-level professional who bridges the gap between scientific user research and technical engineering. You should have a strong academic background and experience in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies (like A/B testing and data analysis). This isn't just a "UX Research" role; it’s for a "tinkerer" who can build their own prototypes, scripts, or data visualizations to make research more actionable for highly technical teams. Standout perks include a dedicated $2,000 annual learning budget and the opportunity to travel internationally 2–4 times a year for in-person "sprints." The company is a pioneer in remote work, offering a fully distributed environment across EMEA. While the base salary is location-dependent to ensure global equity, they offer annual reviews, bonuses, and travel perks like Priority Pass. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a technical "hacker" mindset and enjoy building your own research tools or prototypes. * Are comfortable navigating highly technical environments (Linux, containers, or Python/R). * Can translate complex user data into compelling, "scientifically" sound narratives for engineers and stakeholders. * Excel in a remote-first culture that values high-quality written communication and academic excellence.
