About Canals

Canals builds software for wholesale distributors, helping them operate more efficiently through automation and AI.

Our customers are the companies responsible for moving the materials that power the real economy; electrical supplies, plumbing products, roofing materials, HVAC equipment, and more. Every day, thousands of people rely on Canals to help process orders, manage purchasing, handle accounts payable, and streamline critical business workflows.

We're a profitable, rapidly growing company with a team of roughly 100 people distributed across North and South America. We care deeply about building great products, hiring exceptional people, and creating an environment where talented individuals can do the best work of their careers.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to help us tackle some of our most complex product challenges as we continue to grow. You'll work on complex, data-rich B2B workflows, collaborate closely with engineering, product, and company leadership, and turn challenging problems into intuitive, high-impact experiences.

This is a hands-on role with meaningful ownership, for someone who's energized by working across multiple threads, making thoughtful decisions quickly, and iterating in the open. Success here means designing solutions that genuinely help customers work more efficiently.

More than anything, this role is about how you think, how you collaborate, and how you approach difficult problems. We're looking for someone comfortable with ambiguity, driven by impact, and sharp in both judgment and taste. You notice when something feels slightly off, even before you can fully explain why - and you're genuinely drawn to figuring out what would make it right.

What You'll Do

• Work across multiple product areas at once - picking up context quickly, making judgment calls, and keeping quality high even when priorities shift.
• Design complex B2B workflows, data-rich interfaces, and operational tools - and sweat the details that make dense, complex interfaces actually usable.
• Collaborate directly with engineers, PMs, and company leadership - advocate for your ideas, challenge assumptions, and adapt when new information changes the picture.
• Get involved early, when problems are still messy and directions aren't set — and shape the conversation, not just respond to it.
• Measure success by whether your solutions actually help customers, not by how closely the shipped product matches the mockup.

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years of product design experience, ideally across more than one company, with a portfolio of shipped B2B or enterprise products.
• A can-do attitude - you enjoy designing and shipping, and you're comfortable balancing speed with quality in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong product thinking - you connect design decisions to business context and user outcomes, not just craft.
• Strong judgment, resilience, and confidence - you give and receive direct feedback well, and you're not rattled by a healthy debate.
• Curiosity and a growth mindset - we care far more about how you think and learn than which design tools you've used.

Why Join Canals

• We're building software that solves real problems for an industry that keeps the world running. Our customers rely on our platform every day to operate their businesses.
• We've found strong product-market fit and continue to grow quickly, creating opportunities for people who want to have a meaningful impact on the trajectory of a company.
• We believe great people build great companies. That's why we invest heavily in hiring, development, and creating an environment where talented individuals can do the best work of their careers.
• You'll work alongside ambitious, thoughtful teammates who care deeply about what they do, challenge each other directly, and have a lot of fun along the way.
• We value ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement. Good ideas can come from anywhere, and people are trusted to make things happen.
• We're remote-first, flexible, and distributed across North and South America, bringing together talented people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
