At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a User Experience Researcher (UXR), you make this possible. You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, to gather insights and create industry-leading products. You’ll play a critical role in helping your team understand user needs and will drive impact at all stages of product development, ensuring products are useful, usable, and helpful. You will explore user behaviors and motivations by conducting primary research, including: field studies, interviews, diary studies, ethnography, surveys, usability testing, and logs analysis. You will also grow within a supportive UXR community offering mentorship, regular meetups, and exclusive internal tools. In this role, you will collaborate with teams across Google to define what Pixel intelligence means by co-designing experiences across the full AI stack from compute capabilities to user interface. You will independently prototype future-forward concepts and evaluate them with real users.

Employ an AI-forward research approach by embedding agentic workflows and AI tooling into research processes to accelerate execution and ensure scalability.

Build new UX experiences while co-designing across the full AI stack (e.g., intelligent interfaces, sensing, and compute).

Develop and test prototypes that explore technical trade-offs (e.g., cloud vs. on-device inference).

Explore novel UX opportunities and create physical, testable prototypes for user evaluation.

Apply first-principles thinking to challenge the status quo and deconstruct challenges to fundamental truths.
