About the job

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Quantitative User Experience Researchers make this possible. 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 attitudes, emotions, needs, and behaviors 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. You will investigate user behavior and user needs using empirical research methods such as logs analysis, survey research, path modeling, and regression analysis. Quant UXRs vary in background and use skills from computer science, quantitative social science, econometrics, data science, survey research, psychology, human-computer interaction, and other fields. You’ll combine skills in behavioral research design, statistical methods, and general programming to improve user experience. The Quantitative UXR community at Google will help you do your best work, with opportunities to learn from UXRs across Google through regular meetups, mentor programs, and access to internal research tools.

Google Ads is powering the open internet with technology that connects people, publishers, advertisers, and Google.

Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads and help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses to large brands to YouTube creators with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results.
