At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: “Focus on the user and all else will follow.” Google’s Interaction Designers take complex 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 will envision how people will experience our products, and bring that direction 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 will 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.

We are looking for a UX designer to join the Google Home Experiences team to help evolve the visual software experience for Google’s product portfolio in the home, including smart displays, tablets, TVs and speakers.

The Home team researches, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make users’ homes more helpful. Our mission is the helpful home: to create a home that cares for the people inside it and the world around it.

• Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand requirements, and provide solutions.

• Communicate the user experience at various stages of the design process with wire-frames, flow diagrams, storyboards, mock-ups, or high fidelity prototypes.

• Integrate user feedback and business requirements into ongoing product experience updates.

• Advocate for the prioritization of design centered changes, refinements, and improvements.

• Create narratives, executive summaries, and presentations to align stakeholders to establish a shared outlook and direction.
