Senior UX Designer, Search Design System

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our Interaction Designers transform complex tasks into intuitive, easy-to-use experiences for billions of people. From creating user flows and wireframes to building mockups and prototypes, you will envision and bring product experiences to life with an inspired, refined, and magical feel. You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products.

As an Interaction Designer, you'll apply user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences from concept to execution, working with design partners to evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative products.

As a Senior UX Designer on the Search Design System team, you will serve as a design architect, balancing systemic structural thinking with a high-craft execution of fluid, native interactions. In this role, you will shape the living, cross-platform foundations that power the future of Search, infusing fluidity, delight, and a native-first mindset into a mature design system.

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. Beyond architecting tokens and components, 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. 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.
