Head of Design - Canary Technologies

About the Role

Canary Technologies is hiring a Head of 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.

Canary's product surface is expanding fast across checkin, messaging, upsells, voice, and more. 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.

The base salary range for this role is $235,000 - 260,000. In addition to base salary, this position is eligible for a performance-based bonus paid quarterly, with a target of $15,000 - 30,000 annually. This brings the total expected cash compensation range to $250,000 - $290,000.

Compensation is subject to standard withholding and applicable taxes. Actual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate’s skill level, experience, and specific work location. This role may also include the opportunity to earn equity.
