About the job
At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s Interaction Designers take tasks and make them intuitive and easy-to-use for billions of people around the globe. Throughout the design process—from creating user flows and wireframes to building user interface mockups and prototypes—you’ll envision how people will experience our products, and bring that to life in a way that feels inspired, refined, and even magical.Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering insights about the attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of people who use our products to inspire and inform design. We collaborate closely with each other and with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for the people who use them, and for Google’s businesses.
As an Interaction Designer, you’ll rely on user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences—from concept to execution. Like all of our UX jobs, you’ll collaborate with your design partners to leverage and evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative, inspired products that people love to use. Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team exists to help discover and create new ways to advance our core products through exploration and the application of new technologies. We work to build new solutions that have the potential to transform how users interact with Google. Our goal is to drive innovation by developing new Google products and capabilities that deliver significant impact over longer timeframes.
Responsibilities
- Operate in a changing environment, eager to explore and deliver high-quality design while collaborating with cross-functional partners from early-stage concept development through iteration and execution.
- Adapt comfortable to a less rigid, adaptable product development process, building early-stage products, gathering user insights, and continuously exploring, pivoting, learning, and iterating.
- Develop wireframes, high-fidelity visual designs, and rapid prototypes that effectively communicate key ideas, user journeys, and decision points using your hybrid skillset.
- Build consumer products with creativity and passion, exploring AI-first interactions and unique user experiences to showcase multimodal capabilities and drive user adoption of Google AI.
- Demonstrate a deep understanding of user-centered design principles, familiarity with native mobile design systems and development, and leverage insights from UX research to inform design output.
