Interaction Designer, AI Foundations

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our Interaction Designers transform complex tasks into intuitive, easy-to-use experiences for billions of people. From creating user flows and wireframes to building mockups and prototypes, you will envision and bring product experiences to life with an inspired, refined, and magical feel. You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products.

As an Interaction Designer, you'll apply user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences from concept to execution, working with design partners to evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative products.

When you think of “big data,” Google is at the forefront of companies that push the envelope, developing systems that handle exabytes of data distributed across the planet. To enable Google developers and product areas to manage this data at scale, Google creates and maintains an entire ecosystem of infrastructure and tooling, much of which falls under the umbrella of AI Foundations. AI Foundation products are part of the backbone that ensures that Search returns results, Ads are served, and payments run smoothly. Working on products in AI Foundations means shaping the way data is used across the company, from how it is generated and stored to the way that people interact with it to derive new insights.

We are looking for a UX Designer to join our newly formed AI Foundations UX team and help us build the next generation of data tools.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $132000 - $190000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
