About the job At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." User Experience Researchers (UXRs) make this possible. Google User Experience (UX) is a multidisciplinary team that includes Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers. The UX team gathers insights on users’ needs, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to inform design and collaborate closely with engineering and product management.

As a User Experience Researcher (UXR), you will help your team—including UXers, product managers, and engineers—to understand user needs, working across functions and levels at all product development stages. You will conduct primary research such as field studies, interviews, diary studies, participatory workshops, ethnography, surveys, usability testing, and logs analysis to uncover user behaviors and motivations.

The UXR community at Google is unique and supportive, offering opportunities to collaborate with peers, attend regular meetups, participate in mentor programs, and access internal research tools.

Responsibilities

Lead a research program to generate user insights by developing research road maps, allocating resources, and maintaining alignment with long‑term objectives.

Conduct and analyze research to understand user needs, behaviors, and goals through a mixed‑methods approach. Design and execute both qualitative studies (e.g., interviews, ethnography, usability studies), large‑scale quantitative surveys, and behavioral analysis of user logs to provide a comprehensive view.

Help elevate stakeholder awareness of the user experience by building empathy and bringing the user to life through compelling research findings and implications.
