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.

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.
