UX Designer, Inception, Terra Nova, DeepMind

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our Visual Designers weave space, typography, color, and iconography to help people successfully navigate our products, ensuring they are beautiful and accessible. You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, to leverage user insights and create industry-leading products.

As a Visual Designer, you will rely on user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences from concept to execution. You will collaborate with your design partners to leverage and evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative, inspired products that people love to use.

You will define the design direction for pioneering AI experiences, shaping how users interact with next-generation technologies. Operating in a highly ambiguous and exploratory space, you will manage open-ended problems to chart a course for the future of interaction. As a multidisciplinary design leader with a deep foundation in visual design, you will guide creative teams through influence and mentorship. Simultaneously, you will be a direct contributor, crafting high-fidelity visual concepts, rapid prototypes, and proofs of concepts across digital, physical, and embodied AI contexts. Your role is to be a pathfinder, connecting emerging AI technologies with human value to create novel, breakthrough user experiences.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users.
