About The Position

At Google, the UX Interaction Designer joins a multidisciplinary UX team and collaborates with Engineering and Product Management to use user insights to create industry-leading products. The role applies a user-centered, app-first mindset to develop intuitive, engaging journeys, balancing strong design craft and coherent experiences with execution, longevity, and scale. It also calls for aesthetic sensibility, systems thinking, and the ability to use AI tools for interaction and prototyping while critically assessing their outputs. The designer will ship visual search experiences—including Google Lens, Circle to Search, and AI Mode—onto surfaces outside of Search. Working closely with surface owners and Product Management, the role navigates cross-organizational priorities, design systems, and processes to deliver a high-quality, excellent, and scalable user experience. Google Search is reimagining how and where people find information, with the opportunity to affect users globally.
