At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user
and all else will follow." Quantitative User Experience Researchers
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 who care
deeply about the people who use our products. The UX team plays an
integral part in gathering insights about the attitudes, emotions,
needs, 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 Quantitative User Experience Researcher
(Quant UXR), you’ll help inform your team of UXers, product
managers, and engineers about user needs. You’ll play a critical
role in creating useful, usable, and delightful products. You’ll
work with stakeholders across functions and levels and have impact
at all stages of product development. You will investigate user
behavior and user needs using empirical research methods such as
logs analysis, survey research, path modeling, and regression
analysis. Quant UXRs vary in background using skills from computer
science, quantitative social science, econometrics, data science,
survey research, psychology, human-computer interaction, and other
fields. You’ll combine skills in behavioral research design,
statistical methods, and general programming to improve user
experience. The Quant UXR community at Google 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. In Google Search, we're
reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and
anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering
challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a
universally accessible and useful experience that people around the
world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an
opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally. The
