Every open ux researcher role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 10 of the 14 ux researcher listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 4 more are hybrid. The other 12 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About UX Researcher roles
The UX Researcher job market currently shows 26 open positions across 22 hiring companies, according to available data. This ratio of roughly one to two open roles per company suggests hiring demand is distributed across a range of organizations rather than concentrated in a small number of employers. Five new roles were posted this week, indicating some ongoing, if modest, hiring activity in this period. Among the companies currently listing UX Researcher positions are Oura, Match Group, Instacart, SkydropX, and New York University, representing a mix of consumer technology, dating platforms, e-commerce, logistics, and higher education sectors. This variety points to demand for UX research skills extending beyond traditional tech product companies into other industries. On compensation, posted data shows a median (P50) salary of $211,250, with the 25th percentile at $201,750 and the 75th percentile at $226,575. This relatively narrow spread between the 25th and 75th percentiles suggests a degree of consistency in how UX Researcher roles are compensated among the postings that disclose pay, at least within this dataset. Overall, the current snapshot reflects a market with a limited but active number of openings, a moderate number of distinct employers hiring, and steady but not high-volume weekly posting activity. Job seekers evaluating this field should consider that with only 26 total open roles across 22 companies, competition for individual positions may be a factor, though the presence of multiple industries hiring could offer varied entry points. As with any snapshot, these figures represent a moment in time based on currently available postings, and prospective applicants should consult individual job listings for the most detailed and up-to-date requirements, responsibilities, and compensation specifics tied to each role.
