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? 14 of the 23 ux researcher listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 7 more are hybrid. The other 18 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 14 of these listings actually printed.
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.

3 of the 5 levels on this board sit out - fewer than 5 of their listings state a range, and a band drawn off two postings reads like the same fact as one drawn off forty.

About UX Researcher roles
The UX Researcher job market currently shows 39 open positions across 30 hiring companies, based on available data. Notably, zero new roles were posted in the past week, suggesting a pause in fresh listings at the time of this snapshot, though existing openings remain active. Compensation data from posted roles indicates a median salary of $209,500, with a 25th percentile of $198,000 and a 75th percentile of $227,000, pointing to a relatively narrow and competitive pay band for this specialized role. Among the companies currently hiring, Trustpilot, Oura, Figma, Airbnb, and Instacart appear as the top employers listing UX Researcher positions, reflecting demand from a mix of consumer tech, design tools, and marketplace platforms. The ratio of open roles to hiring companies—39 positions across 30 organizations—suggests that most companies are hiring for one or two UX Researcher roles rather than building out large research teams, based on current postings. The absence of new postings this week, combined with a moderate number of total openings, may indicate a steady but not rapidly expanding hiring environment for this function at present. The salary data, concentrated in a relatively tight range between $198,000 and $227,000, suggests that UX Researcher compensation may be fairly standardized across the companies currently represented in the data, at least for the roles that disclose pay information. Job seekers evaluating this market should consider that the figures reflect only currently posted roles with available compensation data and may not represent the full breadth of UX Researcher opportunities across the industry. Overall, the data points to a specialized, moderately active hiring landscape anchored by a handful of well-known technology and consumer platform companies.
What skills are most in-demand for UX Researchers right now?
The available data does not specify particular skills required by the 39 open positions, so specific skill trends cannot be confirmed from current postings. Candidates are encouraged to review individual job listings from companies like Trustpilot, Oura, and Figma for detailed skill requirements, based on available data.
What salary can UX Researchers expect to earn?
Based on current postings with disclosed compensation, the median salary is $209,500, with a 25th percentile of $198,000 and a 75th percentile of $227,000. This suggests most roles cluster within a fairly defined range, though actual offers may vary by company and experience level.
Which companies are currently hiring UX Researchers?
According to available data, the top companies with open UX Researcher positions include Trustpilot, Oura, Figma, Airbnb, and Instacart. These five companies represent a notable portion of the 30 total hiring organizations identified in current postings.
How competitive is the UX Researcher job market right now?
With 39 open positions across 30 companies and zero new roles posted this week, the market appears moderately sized but not currently expanding rapidly, based on available data. This relatively limited volume of openings suggests candidates may face competition for a finite number of roles at any given time.
