About the job:

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s Interaction Designers take complex tasks and make them intuitive and easy-to-use for billions of people around the globe. Throughout the design process—from creating user flows and wireframes to building user interface mockups and prototypes—you’ll envision how people will experience our products, and bring that vision to life in a way that feels inspired, refined, and even magical.

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

In this role, you will join the Cloud Networking UX team to improve the Cloud and the Network, to focus on a Network security area across Cloud Networking and other Cloud products. You will work with designers, researchers, developers, Program Managers (PMs), as well as other Cross-functional (xFN) partners.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry. We deliver enterprise-grade solutions that leverage Google’s cutting-edge technology, and tools that help developers build more sustainably. Customers in more than 200 countries and territories turn to Google Cloud as their trusted partner to enable growth and solve their most critical business problems.

Responsibilities:

• Work with Cloud UX leadership, PM, Engineer (ENG), and others to create a design goal that solves problems across a broad spectrum of users/businesses.
• Create storyboards, wireframes, high-fidelity designs to guide design and development.
• Iterate on designs based on user feedback, tech constraints, etc.
• Communicate interaction concepts, conceptual ideas and design rationale with clarity, persuasion and a user-centered design process.
• Guide development to implement fantastic experiences, adhering to Google's product excellence principles.
