As a UX Researcher, you will be a key part of this effort, leading user research activities to discover unmet needs and validating new designs through usability testing.

  • You believe that direct user research, user feedback, and usage data are critical to the design process.
  • You value user observation above all else.

An Insider's view of mabl

What are some social events your company does?
