Role Overview: UX Researcher, Quantitative at Meta
Meta's UX Research team designs for the broad spectrum of human needs. The team draws on a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods—including surveys, focus groups, field studies, usability tests, and 1:1 interviews to contribute ideas that elevate products on a global scale. Researchers work cross-functionally with design, product management, content strategy, engineering, and marketing to generate insights that both fuel ideation and evaluate designs.
In this capacity, you will act as a thought leader in the research domain while advocating for the people who use Meta's products. Your ability to design studies that address both user behavior and attitudes will be critical to your success.
Key Responsibilities
Work closely with product and business teams to identify high-impact research topics.
Design and execute end-to-end custom primary research using a wide variety of methods.
Manage and prioritize research plans through ambiguous, fast-changing environments while aligning a large group of stakeholders.
Communicate results and recommendations through clear presentations, reports, and data visualizations tailored to diverse audiences.
Work independently and autonomously to generate insights that drive product decisions.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree with 13+ years of relevant experience in user experience, applied research, or product research and development—or a Master's degree with 11+ years, or a PhD with 8+ years.
Experience coding with R or Python.
Experience with survey design and response effects.
Experience applying statistical analysis methods such as Regressions, ANOVA, and T-Tests.
Interest in and experience executing hands-on, primary research.
Experience translating research findings into strategic narratives.
Preferred Qualifications
Degrees in a human behavior related field, such as Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Sociology, Communication, Information Science, Media Studies, Computer Science, or Economics.
Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize or redesign workflows and drive measurable impact.
Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices, including risk assessment, bias mitigation, and quality reviews.
Ongoing AI skill development, such as prompt or context engineering and agent orchestration.
Experience with consumer products, consumer insights, or product development.
Compensation
This position offers a verified base salary ranging from USD 164,000 to 227,000 per year . Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
Application Tips for Quantitative UX Researchers
To stand out, candidates should showcase specific competencies rather than generic qualifications. Build a public portfolio demonstrating end-to-end research studies—include your hypothesis, methodology, statistical analysis code in Python or R, and the strategic recommendations you delivered. Highlight any experience where your research directly shifted a product roadmap or KPI.
Second, emphasize your AI fluency. Meta explicitly values candidates who can integrate AI tools into research workflows. Document instances where you used large language models for qualitative coding acceleration, synthetic data generation for survey pre-testing, or agent orchestration to streamline literature reviews. Mentioning familiarity with responsible AI frameworks will further strengthen your profile.
Finally, given the seniority of this role, your communication samples matter. Prepare a case study presentation that distills complex ANOVA or regression results into a narrative a non-technical executive could act upon. Reviewing senior-level postings on platforms like the User Research Practitioners Association (UXPA) can help you benchmark your portfolio against industry expectations.
This role was posted on September 27, 2026 , with an application deadline of November 27, 2026 . If you are curious about the relationship between technology and society, this is your chance to help shape the future of social connection at Meta.
