DeepMind Technologies Limited; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 189,000 - 274,000; Full time

Job summary

Google DeepMind is seeking a senior UX designer to advance human-centered AI experiences. Collaborate with engineers to translate research into UI components and design systems, while shaping UX patterns across AI-powered products.

Lead user research and experiments to surface innovative interaction paradigms, grounded in human factors and field studies. The role emphasizes cross-functional leadership, designing for high-impact launches, and contributing to intellectual property development

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in product design or UX.
• Experience with user-centered design, usability principles, human factors, and field user research.
• Experience with machine learning capabilities and limitations, and designing human-AI collaboration workflows.
• Experience communicating user experiences using wireframes, storyboards, or interactive prototypes, and collaborating with engineering teams to translate designs into UI components or design systems.

Responsibilities

• Understand UX excellence and surface both new and existing UX patterns within the AIUX repertoire.
• Design targeted experiments around core themes and upcoming technical capabilities. Translate patterns from experiments to help turn them into transitionable pattern technology.
• Ground your interactive designs in deep human factors understanding, drawing inspiration from field user research and our existing AIUX corpus. Aim to produce generalizable interactions that establish measurably better interaction paradigms.
• Collaborate closely with engineering partners (such as Full Stack or Platform Software Engineers) who will build reliable technical proofs of concepts based on your creative ideas.
• Help drive breakthrough experiences by designing for hero products and high-impact launches. Contribute to the lab's creation of intellectual property, including defensible patents and proprietary methodologies.
