About the Job

Red Hat is on a mission to be the catalyst in communities of customers, contributors, and partners creating better technology the open source way.

The UXD team helps make Red Hat products easy—and enjoyable—for all people to use. Our global team of researchers, designers, content designers, and developers work together to bridge the technical world to the human world with intuitive and approachable product experiences. While each of us has unique skills and talents, we all agree that the best ideas come from diverse minds and fresh perspectives. Whether we’re collaboratively supporting Red Hat’s product portfolio, exchanging ideas in upstream communities, or crunching code for PatternFly (Red Hat’s open source design system), our focus on teamwork, empathy, and transparency play a key role in building products our users love.

• Build relationships with developers and product managers to support successful implementation

• Identify usability issues and make solid recommendations for improvement

• Actively participate in PatternFly, our community-built design system, as both a user and contributor

What You Will Bring

• Experience advocating for a high-quality user experience through every step of the process and across team boundaries

• A drive to collaborate across teams and to explain your ideas and process to other people

• Experience using data to inform design decisions

• Flexibility to adapt to changing situations, needs, or requirements 

• A portfolio of work that demonstrates your process and skills demonstrating a proactive approach and natural curiosity in the work you do

Nice to Have
