About the job
At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our Interaction Designers transform complex tasks into intuitive, easy-to-use experiences for billions of people. From creating user flows and wireframes to building mockups and prototypes, you will envision and bring product experiences to life with an inspired, refined, and magical feel. You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, leveraging user insights to create industry-leading products.
As an Interaction Designer, you'll apply user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences from concept to execution, working with design partners to evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative products.
The Access Everywhere (AEv) team builds the core authentication, authorization, and sign-in experiences that anchor Google's ecosystem across first-party products and third-party (3P) websites and applications.
As we enter an agentic era where autonomous AI agents, non-deterministic interfaces, ambient computing, and delegated actions re-shape digital interactions, sign-in and identity permissioning must evolve. The Senior Interaction Designer for Access Everywhere will collaborate with key partners on developing and/or evolving concepts for how users authenticate, delegate authority, and manage credentials safely and effortlessly.
This role focuses on envisioning next-generation identity concepts, creating high-impact pitches in a fast-paced environment, and modernizing foundational third-party identity journeys and the developer experience to support AI-driven delegation and contextual authentication.
The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
