DBT05 - UX Researcher
Description
User Experience (UX) Researchers work to answer the most challenging questions in design. In this role, you will reveal what our users need from our products by conducting primary research, exploring the behaviors and motivations of our users, and working with teams of UX Team, Product Managers, Engineers and others to develop new features.
