Do you want to play an active role in shaping the next wave of mobile user experience? We are looking for a Contractor Design Researcher with strong skills in experimental research design and experience translating user data into actionable product insights.

- Ability to work as part of a cross-functional team with limited supervision

- Strong oral and written communication skills
