About the job

Design and user experience (UX) are at the forefront of everything we do. The job of an Interaction Designer is to envision how people experience our products and bring that vision to life in a way that feels inspired, refined and even magical. As an Interaction Designer, you’ll approach complex tasks and transform them into intuitive, accessible and easy-to-use designs for billions of people around the worldβ€”from the first-time user to the sophisticated expert. Achieving this goal requires collaboration with teams of Designers, Researchers, Software Developers, and Product Managers throughout the design processβ€”from creating user flows and wireframes to building user interface mockups and prototypes. At each stage, you will anticipate what our users need, advocate for them and ensure that the final product surprises and delights them.

Chrome OS delivers quality computing at scale to provide universal and unfettered access to information, entertainment, and tools. Our mission is to empower anyone to create and access information freely through fast, secure, simple, and intelligent computing.
