This is why we’re looking for an incredible researcher to join us!

What do we offer you?
Research is at the heart of all Wealthfront’s client-facing initiatives—our product process centers continuous learning enabled by research.

You’ll have end-to-end ownership of the research process, from designing studies to delivering insights, all while collaborating with other researchers and cross-functionally with best-in-class product managers, designers, content strategists and more. And, you’ll join a talented team of Wealthfront researchers working across all our products and services, ensuring you’ll have easy access to their accumulated knowledge and experience. Finally, you’ll be a member of both the Product and Design organizations, offering you a perspective on everything we create and insight into the most important decisions affecting business growth.
