Senior Visual Designer, Search, Growth UX

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Visual Designer, you’ll join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products.

You’ll always start from a user-centered app-first mindset to drive intuitive, highly engaging user journeys for our products. You’ll bring a builder's mindset with strong craft and the ability to make design decisions that result in a coherent user experience while also assessing for execution, longevity and scale of designs. You’ll have an aesthetic sensibility, understanding relevant trends to make design decisions that increase the overall appeal of our product set. You’ll be a systems thinker with the ability to analyze existing landscapes and consider how factors or components interrelate with each other and within the context of larger systems. You’ll bring AI fluency to effectively interact and prototype with AI tools, understand core AI concepts and limitations and critically assess desired outputs for accuracy.

As a Senior Visual Designer on the Search Growth UX team, you will ensure every pixel, typographic rhythm, optical alignment, and transition curve matters.

In this role, you won’t only apply an existing component library, you will help define and extend the design system itself. You will create and evolve a design system not just leverage one. Working at the intersection of Search’s evolving visual language and high-velocity mobile growth, you will invent and codify a new generation of native iOS and Android growth primitives.

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.
