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.

YouTube Shopping allows Viewers to shop products directly from their favorite Creators. We are a rapidly expanding team, with growth goals and a culture for shipping and learning quickly. As a UX Designer on the team you will be responsible for design and execution of key Viewer experiences, including discovery moments, shopping experiences.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand requirements, and provide creative, thoughtful solutions.
  
• Communicate the user experience at various stages of the design process with wireframes, flow diagrams, storyboards, mockups, or prototypes.
  
• Advocate for the prioritization of design centered changes, refinements, and improvements.
  
• Design new shopping experiences for Viewers, including user flows, wireframes, mocks, and functional prototypes.
• Leverage User Experience Researcher (UXR) partnership to deepen the team’s understanding of shopping behavior, decision-making and growing needs.
