What are the responsibilities and job description for the User Experience Researcher position at UXR Hunt?
Company Description Helm AI builds flight simulator–style platforms for strategic decision making, enabling organizations to test scenarios before acting in the real world. The company develops agentic simulations that model population-scale human behavior as chain reactions across complex systems. These simulations show how customer decisions, corporate responses, or regulatory changes propagate through networks and trigger cascading reactions. By providing this insight, Helm AI helps leaders anticipate outcomes, reduce risk, and make more informed, data-driven decisions. Role Description This is a full-time, on-site User Experience Researcher role based in Bellevue, WA. The User Experience Researcher will plan and conduct end-to-end user research, including interviews, usability tests, surveys, and contextual inquiries, to understand the needs of stakeholders using Helm AI’s simulation tools.
