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? 12 of the 20 ux researcher listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 6 more are hybrid. The other 15 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 11 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.

About UX Researcher roles
The UX Researcher job market currently shows 35 open positions across 28 hiring companies, based on current postings data. This week alone, 3 new roles have been posted, suggesting a steady, if modest, pace of hiring activity in the field. Among the companies actively recruiting for UX Researcher talent are Trustpilot, Coinbase, Instacart, Oura, and Figma, representing a mix of fintech, e-commerce, consumer technology, and design-focused organizations. This diversity of hiring companies suggests that UX research expertise is valued across multiple sectors rather than being concentrated in a single industry niche. On the compensation side, posted salary data reveals a median (P50) of $209,500 for UX Researcher roles. The 25th percentile sits at $198,000, while the 75th percentile reaches $224,747.50, indicating a relatively narrow interquartile range according to available data. This tight salary band may suggest a degree of consistency in how companies are valuing UX research positions, at least among those organizations disclosing compensation details in their listings. With 28 distinct companies hiring across just 35 roles, the ratio of open positions to hiring companies is low, averaging roughly 1.25 roles per company, which may reflect a market where most organizations are hiring for a single UX Researcher position rather than building out larger research teams simultaneously. The addition of 3 new roles this week, relative to the total of 35 open positions, represents a modest incremental flow of new opportunities. Overall, based on current postings, the UX Researcher job market appears to be characterized by a limited but steady number of openings, competitive compensation clustered around the low-to-mid $200,000s, and demand spread across a range of well-known technology and consumer-facing companies.
What skills are most in demand for UX Researcher roles right now?
While the available data does not break down specific skill requirements, the companies currently hiring—including Trustpilot, Coinbase, Instacart, Oura, and Figma—span fintech, e-commerce, hardware, and design software, suggesting research skills adaptable across different product types are likely valuable. Based on current postings, candidates may want to review individual job listings for company-specific skill expectations.
What salary range can UX Researchers expect?
Based on current postings, the median salary for UX Researcher roles is $209,500, with the 25th percentile at $198,000 and the 75th percentile at $224,747.50. This indicates that most disclosed compensation for these roles falls within a relatively narrow band in the high $190,000s to mid $220,000s range.
Which companies are currently hiring UX Researchers?

How competitive is the UX Researcher job market right now?
With 35 open positions spread across 28 hiring companies and only 3 new roles posted this week, the market appears to offer a limited but steady number of opportunities based on current postings. The relatively low ratio of open roles per company suggests candidates may be competing for a small number of positions at any given organization.
