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.

You will be instrumental in supporting the user experience for the AI-powered creation platform. In this role, you will define next-generation media creation experiences, spanning the creative workflow from core system-level Camera and Audio interactions to the large-screen optimization of flagship applications like Google Recorder, Camera and Pixel Studio.ChromeOS delivers quality computing at scale to provide universal and unfettered access to information, entertainment, and tools. Our mission is to empower anyone to create and access information freely through fast, secure, simple, and intelligent computing.

Responsibilities

• Lead the system-level UX strategy for camera and audio, defining unique large-screen experiences and partnering with the Pixel team to optimize Camera, Recorder, and Pixel Studio as powerful production tools.
• Work with OEM partners and component manufacturers. You must grasp technical complexity (sensors, mic) to co-design and prototype unique, first-to-market hardware-software experiences.
• Work with Researchers, Engineers, and Product Managers to translate user needs and technical capabilities into designs.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of design guidelines and systems to ensure consistency across projects.
• Advocate for user-centered design principles and craft engaging narratives that communicate research findings and drive decision-making.
