About the UX Designer Role

At Google, the premise is simple: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Designer, you will transform complex tasks into intuitive and easy-to-use experiences for billions of people globally. From user flows and wireframes to UI mockups and prototypes, you'll envision, refine, and bring to life compelling product experiences that feel inspired and magical.

Google User Experience (UX) comprises multi-disciplinary teams including Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers, all deeply committed to understanding product users. The UX team plays a vital role in gathering insights into user attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to inform and inspire design. Collaboration is key, working closely with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value to users and Google’s businesses.

You will leverage user-centered design methods to craft exceptional user experiences from concept to execution. Collaborating with design partners, you’ll evolve and apply the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative products that users love. Google's Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences, researching, designing, and developing new technologies and hardware to make user interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful.
