The User Experience design team at Canopy is not only responsible for creating these great experiences but also for fostering a culture of structured design and research throughout the company to empower others to be user-driven.

They work in both code and the canvas, using the right tool for the job at hand. This is a hybrid position in Draper, Utah (M, W, F in-office). What You’ll Do Embed cross-functionally with product management and engineering to represent the design team, facilitate user-driven discussions, make decisions, and provide feedback in product planning and execution. Collaborate closely with design and product leadership to define your features and contribute to the overall direction of your product area. Set up, lead, and execute customer research and stakeholder interviews with your product manager. Design user flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals and assets. Construct prototypes that accurately portray the designed user interactions. Design AI-powered experiences in the product, shaping how customers direct, trust, correct, and stay in control of AI in their workflows. Prepare all assets for engineering handoff to clearly illustrate what needs to be built. Work closely with engineering to ensure the highest quality implementation of the designs and objectives and own every aspect of the design. Collaborate often with other user experience designers to ensure the overall product experience is cohesive and valuable. Construct user interfaces within a design system and component library. Provide guidance and coaching to fellow designers, contributing to the overall skill enhancement of the entire team.

Comfort working in both code and the canvas. You don't need to ship production code, but you can read a component, prototype in code when that's the faster path, and hold your own in technical conversations. Experience designing AI features, or a real appetite for it, including prompt and input design, communicating model confidence, graceful failure, and human review. A portfolio of work in which you were the primary designer leading high-impact projects for mobile and desktop. Showcase problem-solving, decision-making, iterating, ideating, prototyping, and overall visual design.

The desire to regularly collaborate often with other designers; share, learn, and mentor. Experience conducting user research, usability testing, and translating insights into actionable design improvements.
