About The Job

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our Interaction Designers transform complex tasks into intuitive, easy-to-use experiences for billions of people. From creating user flows and wireframes to building mockups and prototypes, you will envision and bring product experiences to life with an inspired, refined, and magical feel. You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products.

As an Interaction Designer, you'll apply user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences from concept to execution, working with design partners to evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative products.

The Trust UX team, part of the larger Core Experience organisation, is responsible for building durable, cross-Google solutions that enable products to easily provide coherent, compliant, and age-appropriate experiences that empower users to make meaningful and informed choices about their data. This means understanding user needs around age-appropriate experiences, data privacy, and data sharing, and influencing teams across Google based on this expertise. The team responds to regulatory-driven efforts, including those concerning AI, and helps scale consent, transparency, controls, and age-assurance experiences by developing frameworks and practices that earn user trust and make it easy to get the best from the Google ecosystem.
