About the role

Who you are

  • 3-5+ years of UX research experience in a product environment, ideally within SaaS, security, or developer-focused products
  • Proficiency in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and experience choosing the right method for the question at hand
  • Experience working cross-functionally with PMs, designers, and engineers throughout the product development lifecycle
  • Strong synthesis and storytelling skills — you know how to bring clarity to complexity and communicate impact
  • Comfort working autonomously on multiple projects, with strong organizational and time management skills
  • Familiarity with tools like Dovetail, Confluence, Jira, Heap, and common survey platforms (e.g., Qualtrics, GreatQuestions)
  • A collaborative mindset and a desire to support team growth and learning
  • Bonus: Experience conducting research with technical users or developer personas

What the job involves

  • At Auth0 by Okta, we’re on a mission to build trusted identity experiences for developers, businesses, and end users
  • Our research team plays a key role in shaping products that are secure, scalable, and built on a deep understanding of user needs
  • We’re looking for a Senior UX Researcher (Mixed Methods) to help us uncover insights that drive thoughtful, impactful product decisions
  • In this role, you’ll work closely with product managers, designers, engineers, and cross-functional partners to lead research studies from scoping to synthesis
  • You'll blend qualitative and quantitative methods to understand user behaviors, needs, and attitudes — and turn those into clear, actionable insights that inform both product development and strategic direction
  • You’ll report to the UX Research Manager and be part of a growing, collaborative research team committed to elevating how research influences product thinking at scale
  • Plan and conduct end-to-end research using both qualitative and quantitative methods (e.g., interviews, surveys, usability studies, analytics triangulation)
  • Lead research initiatives that inform features, workflows, and overall product direction
  • Collaborate with designers, PMs, engineers, and data scientists to define research questions, choose appropriate methods, and embed insights into decision-making
  • Synthesize findings into clear, concise insights and recommendations tailored to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Contribute to the team’s research processes, templates, and best practices
  • Help evolve our understanding of key user personas, journeys, and pain points, especially in the context of developer experience and security products
  • Participate in continuous research efforts and help maintain research ops hygiene (e.g., tagging insights, sharing findings, managing research data)
  • Assist cross-functional team members in conducting self-service research, offering guidance on research execution and data analytics
