About this role

As a Senior UX Designer on the Search Design System team at Google, you will serve as a design architect balancing systemic structural thinking with high-craft execution of fluid, native interactions. You will shape the living, cross-platform foundations that power the future of Search.

You will seamlessly shift between defining macro-level component architectures and crafting micro-level interactive details. You will use high-fidelity prototyping and dynamic specifications to move the system beyond static layouts into adaptive, intelligent logic for both human teams and AI workflows.

You will join a multi-disciplinary UX team collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products. You will act as a critical bridge to engineering and a cultural catalyst, converting native design best practices and up-skilling feature teams across the broader organization.

In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information any way and anywhere. You'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally while helping maintain a universally accessible and useful experience.
