About the Role

You're a UX Researcher and you're sure of your process. You've been at it for 3+ years and enjoy sharing your knowledge with your fellow teammates. You believe that research shouldn't be left to one team, but should be a company-wide practice. You care about why you're building something, not just what. You ground your research priorities in things that will drive customer and business value. Everything is your problem. You consider the technical, product, and business needs of the company with each decision. You're based in San Francisco or are willing to relocate, and eligible to work in the United States.
