Role
Who you are
- This full-time position is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-velocity environment and loves shaping experiences through deep user understanding
- 5+ years of industry experience in UX research, with a strong focus on qualitative methods in fast-paced environments
- BA or equivalent experience in HCI, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, or a related field
- Deep expertise in qualitative research design, execution, and synthesis
- Solid working knowledge of survey tools and basic statistical analysis
- Strong storytelling and communication skills, with the ability to distill complexity into clarity
- Experience working collaboratively across design, product, and engineering teams
- A proactive, flexible mindset—comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and tight timelines
Desirable
- Experience in being the single researcher at a startup (even though we have a UX team, we function with high ownership like being the single researcher in a startup)
- Experience in music, creative tools, or Gen-Z digital culture
- Familiarity with AI and generative technologies in product experiences
- PhD in HCI, Psychology, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Bonus points if you’ve used Suno to make music
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Qualitative UX Researcher (full-time) to help us accelerate product development and iterate faster
- In this role, you’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to bring the voice of the user into every stage of the product lifecycle
- You’ll be embedded in fast-moving teams and responsible for scoping, executing, and synthesizing research studies across a variety of initiatives—from creating and editing songs on web and mobile to marketing and user education
- Lead end-to-end qualitative research, including user interviews, usability tests, and diary studies across mobile, web, and platform experiences
- Support weekly research cycles across product and marketing initiatives, helping teams validate concepts and improve features with rapid iteration
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering to scope research, identify learning goals, and synthesize findings into clear, actionable insights
- Develop and deploy surveys that complement qualitative findings and provide lightweight validation for hypotheses
- Deliver compelling reports, presentations, and workshops that inspire action and shape roadmap decisions
- Advocate for the user across all touchpoints—from onboarding to remix tools to artist interactions
- Help establish and evolve research best practices and scalable processes to support rapid experimentation and growing demand
- This is an in-person role working at our NYC office location
Our take
Suno is a company leveraging AI for music creation, attempting to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their musical background. The platform allows users to generate complete songs by inputting text prompts, breaking down the barriers that traditionally separate amateurs from professional musicians.
Unlike other AI music tools, Suno focuses on ease-of-use, enabling even those with no music theory knowledge to produce professional-sounding songs. This approach has already attracted a diverse user base, including everyday people and GRAMMY-winning artists.
Suno' rise has been fast and impressive, but it's now facing serious legal heat, including new lawsuits from independent artists. If it can defend its practices ad show respect for creators' rights, there's still a strong future ahead for the company.
