About the job

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise : "Focus on the user and all else will follow." User Experience Researchers (UXRs) make this possible. 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 gathers insights about the needs, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of people who use our products to inspire and inform design. We collaborate with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for users and Google’s businesses. As a User Experience Researcher (UXR), you’ll help your team of UXers, product managers, and engineers understand user needs and work with stakeholders across functions and levels to have impact at all stages of product development. You’ll explore user behaviors and motivations by conducting primary research such as field studies, interviews, diary studies, participatory workshops, ethnography, surveys, usability testing, and logs analysis. You’ll have opportunities to learn from UXRs across Google through regular meetups, mentor programs, and access to internal research tools.

As a Mixed Methods UX Researcher (UXR), you’ll use various methods to understand users and provide data-driven recommendations to improve user experience. In Google Search, we reimagine what it means to search for information—any way and anywhere. To do that, we solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience for people around the world. In joining the Search team, you’ll have an opportunity to impact billions of people globally.
