We are seeking experienced UX researchers and design researchers (or mixed-methods researchers embedded with product teams) to provide expert insight as part of a project for our AI Marketplace. No preparation required — just your real-world experience.

This is a one-time, paid, project-based interview engaged on a contract basis— not a full-time role.

Location: U.S.-based experts only

Engagement: One-time, project-based interview

Work Type: Remote

Estimated rate: $120/hour (prorated for the 30-minute task)

What You’ll Do

You’ll complete a ~30-minute recorded AI-led video interview where you explain how you actually do your work in practice.

This interview will focus on:

• Scoping discovery research, research questions, methods, samples, timelines, and review plans
• Recruiting and screening participants and managing consent, privacy, incentives, and research data handling
• Conducting and synthesizing qualitative and quantitative research into actionable artifacts
• Planning usability tests, interpreting results, prioritizing issues, and documenting product decisions

You will be asked to explain workflows specifically within: discovery, participant recruiting, research synthesis, usability testing, accessibility and inclusion research, localization testing, and decision documentation.

You should only apply if you can confidently walk through these areas step-by-step based on your own experience and respond to AI-led interview questions with depth, clarity, and real-world examples.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in UX research, design research, product research, or mixed-methods research in a digital product environment
• Direct, hands-on experience in discovery, participant recruiting, research synthesis, usability testing, accessibility and inclusion research, localization testing, and decision documentation
• Experience making or influencing decisions related to research method selection, participant criteria, consent and recording approach, usability pass/fail criteria, issue severity, and evidence-based design direction
• Familiarity with tools such as: UserTesting, UserZoom, Dovetail, Lookback, Maze, Qualtrics, Figma, Miro, analytics dashboards, research repositories
• Strong ability to clearly explain workflows, decisions, and reasoning
• Experience owning or directly executing these workflows in a real production environment
• Experience working cross-functionally with HR, legal, payroll, finance, HRIS, business leaders, people managers, or compensation committee stakeholders as relevant to the workflow

About the Interview

The interview is designed to elicit step-by-step explanations of real workflows and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on detailed, experience-based responses rather than high-level summaries.

This is a project-based engagement. Selected participants will be paid for completing a recorded AI-led video interview; hourly rates are estimates based upon anticipated time of completion. Participants will control their own schedule, provide their own tools to complete the interview, and may participate in other opportunities as they choose.

Once you complete the interview, we’ll send your video recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, to the internal research team and AI lab partner. This data will be used to generate a structured list of tasks associated with your profession and for AI model improvement.
