You will collaborate across functional teams. You will identify emerging needs, develop interaction design best practices, and contribute to interaction pattern documentation. You will lead or contribute to key projects, ensuring a holistic systems-thinking approach and advocating for user needs across platforms and applications. You will partner strategically with engineering, product, and Search Foundations to define the future of design systems at Search and Google.

About the job

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s Visual Designers weave space, typography, color, iconography, and texture together to help people successfully navigate our products. We believe that all of our products should be beautiful and accessible.

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 behaviors and perceptions 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 a Visual Designer, you will rely on user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences—from concept to execution. Like all of our UX jobs, you will collaborate with your design partners to leverage and evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative, inspired products that people love to use.

As a Senior Visual Designer, you will have experience with visual design skills along with contributing to design systems and libraries at scale. You know a design system is as much about how we work together as it is about documentation.
