About the Role
Canary Technologies is hiring a
Head of Product Design to own the design system, information hierarchy, and interaction principles that govern every surface of Canary's platform — for human users and AI agents alike. Most design system roles are about consistency for humans. This one is about building the design language that AI agents obey. You're not just making a dashboard pretty — you're defining the rules of interaction for a platform where AI is increasingly the operator. That's a new kind of design leadership, and we want someone who sees it that way.

We need someone obsessive about consistency, hierarchy, and systematic design who can establish principles that scale — not just across screens, but across a future where AI agents are primary users of our interfaces. The design system you build won't just guide human designers; it will be the contract that AI follows.

Define and enforce a unified design system across all Canary product surfaces — components, spacing, typography, color, layout patterns, and page-level templates
Build design principles rigid enough to be programmatically enforced and flexible enough to serve diverse hospitality workflows
Create specifications precise enough that AI coding agents can generate UI that meets your bar without human review
Partner closely with engineering and product to make the design system the source of truth — not a side artifact
Think deeply about how AI agents (voice, chat, autonomous) interact with and present Canary's UI, and design for that as a first-class use case
8+ years in Product Design with 3+ years leading teams directly.

Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end systems thinking, exceptional product craft, and shipped work at scale across web and mobile is essential.
~ Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain diverse design talent. Strength in feedback, coaching, and org-building.
~ You are inspired by companies like Rippling, Linear, or Stripe where systematic design creates product clarity
~ Fluency in design systems, accessibility, UX research methods, and experimentation.

Excited by the idea that your design system becomes the rulebook for AI agents building and operating UI
~ Compensation
Target cash compensation ranges from
$250,000-$290,000 , including a fixed annual salary and a performance-based bonus paid quarterly. This role also includes a stock option grant, subject to board approval. Holidays + Canary Days:
