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 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 needs, attitudes, emotions, 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.

As a User Experience Researcher (UXR), you’ll help your team of UXers, product managers, and engineers understand user needs. You’ll work with stakeholders across functions and levels and have impact at all stages of product development. You’ll play a critical role in creating useful, usable, and delightful products. You’ll explore user behaviors and motivations by conducting primary research such as field studies, interviews, diary studies, participatory workshops, ethnography, surveys, usability testing, and logs analysis.

The UXR community at Google is unique and will help you do your best work. You’ll have the opportunity to work with and learn from UXRs across Google through regular meetups, mentor programs, and access to internal research tools.

The Enterprise Data and Engineering team is dedicated to establishing and reinforcing canonical, interconnected, and integrated maps of enterprise data. These maps are built upon sustainable, secure, and scalable foundations, enabling critical business use cases and unlocking essential business insights.

• Own project priorities in alignment with larger product goals, and oversee allocation of resources within the project.

• Drive ideas to improve products and services through research-driven insights and recommendations.

• Own outlook and strategy discussions through research by analyzing, consolidating, or synthesizing what is known about user, product, service, or business needs.

• Conduct and analyze research to understand user needs, behaviors, and goals through mixed method research approaches. Use methods such as usability studies, diary studies, literature reviews, surveys, and relevant approaches to answer the research questions.
