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 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'll envision how people will experience our products, and bring that goal 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.



Responsibilities
  • Collaborate cross-functionally and cross-team to support multidimensional pieces of work across games experiences.
  • Deliver on a high standard for craft and excellence through the use of user-centered principles, methods, and tools, paying close attention to the tapestry of design systems and patterns across the broader games product landscape.
  • Prioritize work while managing stakeholder relationships and expectations across a range of work streams on a range of trajectories and velocities.
  • Contribute to an environment where every team member feels supported and comfortable being their authentic self.
  • Build strong relationships with peers and leaders inside and outside of the team to drive user experiences that are cohesive and well-informed.
