Do these not match your interest or experience?

If these studies don't apply to you, we still want to work with you. Join our research community, and we’ll be in touch when the right opportunity comes along.

Open source is just part of our nature. We try to incorporate open source principles in everything we do. That’s why we want you to participate in our user experience design research. Become a research participant and help make our software, services, and websites more user-friendly.

Why participate?

Influence the future of Red Hat experiences

Whether you use Red Hat's products, services, or websites, each experience should work for you. And your input will help us tailor today’s experiences and influence tomorrow’s designs.

Contribute to the open source community

You don’t have to commit code to open source projects to be an important member of the open source community. As a research participant, you’re contributing ideas and thoughts to the open source community right alongside the developers and end users.

Engage in research activities

Hop on a call. Fill out a survey. Or  complete one of our many research activities. Anything you contribute  will help us design more optimal experiences for all our users.

Participant feedback

Icon-Red_Hat-Media_and_documents-Quotemark_Open-B-Red-RGB When I see that my ideas are there in the real product in the market, it feels good.

Icon-Red_Hat-Media_and_documents-Quotemark_Open-B-Red-RGB I think part of it has to be the kind of the philosophy of openness around Red Hat, which is something you don't really get from a lot of the other commercial vendors we work with.

Icon-Red_Hat-Media_and_documents-Quotemark_Open-B-Red-RGB It was actually quite fun (not a bad activity for 11:10 PM on a Tuesday night).

Constructing experiences based on real people

Red Hat researchers come from different backgrounds, possess diverse skills, and perform various functions at Red Hat. Some of us might be anthropologists with design backgrounds, while others might be psychologists with technical backgrounds. Regardless of who we are or where we come from, we all want to collaborate with you to build experiences that aren’t just useful—but enjoyable.
