User Research Intern

About the Design and Research Team

We’ll jump into any sport or game together—sometimes in the name of “research.” We work hard and play hard, from bi-annual design trips to game-time and company-sponsored fantasy leagues. We’re customer-obsessed and proud to craft experiences users love.

What You’ll Do

• Support research projects and help synthesize findings for the team
• Maintain users’ app engagement metrics using internal dashboards
• Conduct benchmarking and ongoing monitoring of our competitors for updates
• Help set up and take part in UX quality assurance reviews

What We’re Looking For

• Are pursuing a degree in a related field with a graduation date in 2025, or new grad with around 1 or fewer years of experience
• Understand the fundamentals of user research and have a strong attention to detail
• Love collaborating and can juggle multiple projects
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment as a proactive self-starter
• At Sleeper, we go above and beyond and sweat the details
• Have an eagerness to learn and are genuinely curious or passionate about sports

Extra Points

• Hold a degree in HCI, information sciences, stats, data analytics, human-centered design, or a related field
• Run usability tests—in-person or remote—for mobile apps
• Skilled with remote testing tools, surveys, or analytics dashboards
• Experience with fantasy sports, daily fantasy, or sports betting—or just a serious passion for football or basketball

More About the Internship

• Join a small cohort of interns collaborating with mentors and senior team members
• Get onboarded to our research process and ramp up to full projects, including a capstone
• Completing the 12-week program gives you priority for our open full-time roles

Compensation

A reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for new hires is $20 USD to $32 USD per hour. No overtime work allowed, and the internship will be for 3 months or otherwise negotiated; salary upon potential, full-time conversion will be adjusted and further negotiated.
