Senior User Experience Researcher (Mixed Methods)
Prague
August 12, 2024
At Jet Brains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.
Distributed Product Research (DPR) is a matrix company-wide structure that embeds research practice into product teams and coordinates Dedicated Product Researchers (DPRs) across the whole company by connecting them to the centralized Research Competence Center. DPRs at Jet Brains are deeply integrated into the product development processes of their teams and are able to use the competencies, processes, and infrastructure of the Market Research & Analytics team – using the strengths and mitigating the weaknesses of classic pure agency and distributed research organizational models.
We are looking for an experienced user experience researcher to become a Dedicated Product Researcher for .NET, a Jet Brains department responsible for the development of productivity tools for .NET developers, including Rider, Re Sharper, Re Sharper C++, dot Cover, dot Memory, dot Peek, and dot Trace. You will take responsibility for our user and market research efforts across multiple .NET products and development scenarios, including .NET web, desktop, and mobile development and game development (including Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, and custom game engines). As a .NET DPR, you will report to both .NET Product/Marketing Leads and the DPR Lead. This means you’ll be working exclusively on research tasks in the .NET Department while enjoying research support and mentorship from the Market Research & Analytics team.
Creating developer productivity tools as products is a challenge for which there are no ready-made solutions. In addition to the unique experience of this role, a successful candidate will make life easier for millions of developers all over the world while influencing the way software products are created.
