Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

We are relentless in protecting our customers and we believe that the unique ideas of every member of our team contributes to our collective success. Our values were crowdsourced by employees and are brought to life through each of us everyday - from disruptive innovation and collaboration, to execution. From showing up for each other with integrity to creating an environment where we all feel included.

Our goal is to create an environment where we all win with precision.
Your Career
At Palo Alto Networks, our mission is to protect critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. As part of our Network Security (NetSec) Platform team, you'll play a key role in shaping intuitive, scalable user experiences for complex enterprise environments. You’ll drive impact by uncovering deep user insights through both qualitative and quantitative research—and by helping teams across the company leverage those insights to make confident, user-centered decisions.
Your Impact
As a UX Mixed Method Researcher, you’ll bring expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methods to solve complex design challenges in large-scale enterprise environments. You’ll lead initiatives focused on restructuring information architecture and simplifying navigation across dense, technical platforms. Your work will help unify user experiences while enabling designers, product managers, and executives to act on research with confidence. You’ll also play a key role in scaling usability research across teams and improving research operations to support continuous discovery and feedback integration.
What You’ll Be Doing
Your Experience
6–8+ years of UX research experience, with hands-on expertise in both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Proven success navigating complex enterprise environments and leading research that informs large-scale navigation and information architecture decisions.
Strong ability to translate insights into clear, actionable guidance for a range of audiences—from designers and PMs to SVPs and cross-functional leaders.
Experience designing research programs or toolkits that scale usability testing across non-researchers without sacrificing rigor or user empathy.
Familiarity with research operations, including participant recruitment workflows and repository strategies that enable pattern recognition across feedback channels.
A collaborative, thoughtful approach—comfortable operating autonomously while also mentoring and enabling others
The Team
At Palo Alto Networks, you’ll have the opportunity to tackle some of the most complex and high-stakes problems in tech today. As part of our product design team, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping how the world understands and navigates cybersecurity. We’re not just solving UX challenges—we’re building trust, protecting data, and securing critical infrastructure around the globe. If you're passionate about human-centered research, and energized by working in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment, this is your chance to make an impact at scale.
