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 vision
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.
As an Interaction Design Lead, you will help grow the Platforms and Ecosystems Engineering, Product, and Design team. In this role, you will build Android and Google Play products and collaborate with Search, Assistant, YouTube, and Payment teams.
Android is Google’s open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.
Responsibilities
- Build compelling user-centric visions, including organizing people and process for alignment (i.e. design thinking methods), and scope UX visions into implementable roadmaps.
- Scope projects and assess feasibility by working with cross-functional partners to discuss project specifications/approach and provide work/deliverable estimates. Select, engage, and manage vendors.
- Leverage user research to influence stakeholders and improve product designs and strategy.
- Translate complex concepts and interactions into simple, elegant, and coherent design and define user journeys.
- Propose and practice strategic processes and programs to reduce friction and improve UX team efficacy.
