About the job

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Interaction Designer, you’ll join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products.

You’ll always start from a user-centered app-first mindset to drive intuitive, highly engaging user journeys for our products. You’ll bring a builder's mindset with strong craft and the ability to make design decisions that result in a coherent user experience while also assessing for execution, longevity and scale of designs. You’ll have an aesthetic sensibility, understanding relevant trends to make design decisions that increase the overall appeal of our product set. You’ll be a systems thinker with the ability to analyze existing landscapes and consider how factors or components interrelate with each other and within the context of larger systems. You’ll bring AI fluency to effectively interact and prototype with AI tools, understand core AI concepts and limitations and critically assess desired outputs for accuracy.

In this role, you will be responsible for shipping the latest visual search experiences—such as Google Lens, Circle to Search, and AI Mode—directly onto surfaces outside of Search. You will partner closely with surface owners to bring new AI-driven Search experiences to users right where their questions happen. Partnering deeply with Product Management, you will navigate cross-organizational priorities, design systems, and processes to ensure design quality, excellence, and scalability of the user experience on target surfaces. In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on.
