Our UX Research team is designing for the global diversity of human needs, which requires us to deeply understand the behaviors of the people behind them. Messenger UX researchers tackle some of the most complex challenges to gain deeper insights into how people interact with each other and the world around them, and work collaboratively to contribute new ideas to products that impact the experiences of billions of people on a global scale.

We employ a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to accomplish our goals, including surveys, focus groups, field studies, usability tests, and one-on-one interviews. We value a diverse range of perspectives and stem from many different backgrounds - geographically, culturally, educationally, philosophically. We come from industry and academia, with roots in anthropology, design research, economics, HCI, human factors, market research, political science, sociology, social computing, and social psychology, among others.

At the heart of connecting people together is building a platform that fosters sharing between you and family, friends, and community. Messaging is key to this. This space is complex and growth in such a competitive space is challenging but also rewarding as we are able to connect the world through meaningful conversations.
