About the job

We're hiring a UX Researcher to work horizontally across Tether's full product portfolio from consumer apps like Keet, QVAC Workbench, and the Tether Wallet, to the developer portals and platforms behind QVAC, Pears, MDK, and WDK.

This isn't a typical UX research role. The breadth is the point: one week you're studying how someone in Lagos uses USDt on their phone, the next you're sitting with engineers to figure out the best practice of developer portals. We need someone with genuine curiosity, depth of thinking, and the ability to communicate findings clearly enough that product designers and product managers make better decisions because of them. The goal is simple and never changes: the best possible experience for the user.

Responsibilities

Run UX research across Tether's consumer and developer products: Keet, QVAC Workbench, Tether Wallet, developer portals, and more
Identify UX best practices and emerging patterns across each product category
Research competitors and adjacent products to surface how others are solving comparable problems, and where the gaps are
Translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations for product designers and product managers
Partner with product teams across all four pillars (Stable Finance, Stable Intelligence, Stable Power, Stable Communications) to inform decisions at every stage of the product lifecycle
Build and maintain a research repository so insights compound over time and are reusable across teams
Tailor methods to each product qualitative, quantitative, lightweight, deep whatever the question actually needs

Requirements

5+ years of UX research experience across consumer and/or developer products
End-to-end research chops: defining the question, picking the method, executing, synthesizing, and communicating outcomes
Strong command of qualitative methods (interviews, usability testing, contextual inquiry) and working familiarity with quantitative ones
Working knowledge of at least one of: crypto wallets and self-custody, messaging or P2P, AI applications, or developer tooling
Sharp written and verbal communication — able to convert ambiguous findings into decision-ready recommendations
Experience with products where trust, privacy, security, money movement, or technical complexity affect the user experience.
Mandatory AI fluency: you must actively use AI tools to speed up research planning, synthesis, insight mapping, documentation, and reporting, while applying strong human judgement.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to convert messy findings into clear, decision-ready recommendations for Design, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and leadership.
Strong product judgement: able to separate signal from noise and identify which insights should influence the product.
Comfortable working in fast-moving environments where research needs to be practical, focused, and useful.
Genuine curiosity, critical thinking, and depth of analysis that goes beyond surface-level observations.
Low-ego collaboration style, with the ability to challenge assumptions clearly and constructively.
Genuine curiosity and depth of thinking that goes beyond surface-level observations

Bonus points:

Background researching developer audiences and developer experience specifically
Experience setting up UX research practices from scratch or scaling them across multiple product teams
Background in fintech, crypto, AI, P2P, or open-source ecosystems
Familiarity with privacy-preserving research methods
Ability to create low-fidelity prototypes to demonstrate and inspire potential user flow , functionality and content structure improvements
