About the job
At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our UX Engineers are versatile, passionate, and driven to advance the vision for our design teams. Comfortable working across discipline lines, you will develop products and prototypes that bring innovative ideas to life.

Joining a multi-disciplinary UX team, you will collaborate with Engineering and Product Management, using user insights to create industry-leading products. In a fast-paced environment, you will use your creativity, analytical skills, and knowledge of user-facing technologies to: create prototypes that define product experiences; launch innovative features; build tools to accelerate UX teams; and bridge design and engineering to ensure efficient, high-quality execution.

Our mission is to scale the Search Design System to meet organizational needs by increasing adoption, extending with additional frameworks like motion, illustration, and Generative User Experience (UX), and evolving through contributions from collaborating teams.

Reporting into Search Design Systems, we serve as a centralized partner, engaging with product teams across the Search Product Area (PA). By providing our domain expertise and unique skills, we actively enable them to build, cohesive, and accessible user experiences at scale.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between the design system and the product teams it serves, defining how the system evolves to meet organizational needs. You will also be measured by the success of its partners and their users.

In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information - any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
