UX Designer, Search Verticals

At [REDACTED], we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a UX Interaction 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 UX Designer on the CoreX team, you will operate as a bridge between the established Search Design System and the nuanced needs of Search Verticals (Restaurants, Flights, Events, People, TV and Movies, Sports, etc.) to develop innovative user experiences across the core Search Results Page (SRP), AI Overviews (AIO), and AI Mode/Modules. You will directly influence how Search users access information in the AI era. Working as a horizontal designer means your work won't just impact a single feature, it will establish the foundational patterns for hundreds of products and billions of global users.

In [REDACTED] 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.
