Built by curious humans

We exist to help teams discover user insights; we believe fast access to quality participants is the key to that discovery. In fact, we don't just believe it—we know it. We know it because we listen to our customers and you tell us how game changing speed to insight is. We know it because our company wouldn't exist without talking to customers.

We're a distributed team on a mission to change how companies build products. We believe that consistent user feedback is key to success. We know, because our first company flopped—read our origin story.

And our story gets even more exciting—we're proud to announce our $27.5M Series B to help companies become more user centric by doing research, fast.

UItes are alright

Humble but confident. Independent but collaborative. There's no one set UI-type. And that's what makes our team so special.

CTO and co-founder Bob Saris shares how the engineering team at UI developed a system to organize business logic in our code base.

How do you begin to describe a company culture in a few words?

We are fully remote and always* have been. We care, we work hard, we’re customer obsessed (but not in a weird way), curious, maybe a little quirky? OK so we’re kind of nerds if you want to know the truth.

Remote requires autonomy, self-starting, trust, top-down and bottoms-up alignment, intentional communication. So we focus on those things. We embrace what makes you you, not drinking Kool-Aid.
*Technically we had a small office inside our investor’s office, inside Hubspot’s office, in Cambridge with about 6 employees in the early days. We’ve been fully remote since 2018.

Paid time away

We know unlimited is controversial. We don’t offer it. Instead you own your days to take, accrue, or get cash back for when you leave. You also get unlimited wellness days. We have competitive parental and family leave policies too.

Fully, totally remote

Before the world forced us all into it, we chose to be fully remote. If remote appeals to you, you probably don’t need us to sell you on its benefits. If you’re on the fence, check out some of our remote working tips.

Company retreats
We host a big in-person retreat each year—with a virtual option. It's a great opportunity to break from the day-to-day and get some IRL face time with everyone.

Flexible work

Work where you want, in an environment that works for you. Work when you want, as long as you have some overlap with the team. We try to mix synchronous and asynchronous collaboration.
