About UX Research careers

In an era dominated by synthetic data and AI simulations, UX Researchers provide the essential human pulse.

While AI can simulate user testing at scale, the most valued researchers focus on deep ethnographic insights and ethical AI alignment to ensure products stay grounded in real behavior. This role is critical for identifying unmet needs that data alone misses.

Companies like Netflix, Spotify, and Anthropic rely on researchers to validate product-market fit and navigate the complex social implications of generative technologies.

We feature roles ranging from junior UX researchers to senior research leads and Directors of Research. Positions span AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity where research is critical for human-AI interaction, as well as product design roles with research focus at companies like Figma, Notion, and Stripe.

Definitely. Many companies have embraced remote research practices, especially AI companies like Midjourney and Anthropic. Browse remote UX research opportunities or explore positions in research hubs like Seattle, Austin, and Toronto.

Companies like Meta, Google, Netflix, Amazon, and AI leaders like OpenAI value expertise in usability testing, interviews, surveys, card sorting, A/B testing, and analytics. For AI products, understanding human-AI interaction and prompt testing is increasingly important. Check top UX research portfolios for examples of how to present research impact.

Entry-level UX researchers typically earn $70k–$95k, while senior researchers command $130k–$190k+. AI companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Scale AI often offer premium packages. Principal and director-level positions at top tech companies can exceed $250k with equity. Consult our salary guide for detailed breakdowns.

Synthetic data is great for rapid, quantitative testing, but it has made Human-Led Research even more valuable. Companies are hiring researchers who can provide deep ethnographic insights and navigate the ethics of AI interaction. If you specialize in identifying the "unmet needs" that LLMs can't predict, you'll find high-demand roles at companies like Anthropic and Meta.

Beyond traditional tools like Dovetail or UserTesting, researchers are now using AI-powered synthesis tools to analyze hundreds of hours of video in minutes. The focus has moved from "data collection" to "insight storytelling," where researchers act as the strategic bridge between user behavior and product roadmaps.
