About the job

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: we 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 and use 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 Quantitative 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.

Responsibilities

• Define and measure quantitative UX goals and metrics in collaboration with Designers, Qualitative Researchers, Data Scientists, Engineers, and Program Managers.
• Develop code and statistical models to understand user experience.
• Conduct empirical research using methods from computer science, quantitative social science, statistics, econometrics, and other fields to understand user behavior and extract meaningful patterns from data sets.
• Examine existing data and product designs to generate hypotheses and plans for high-impact research.
• Prioritize and drive research to improve user experience, communicate findings to stakeholders in the company, and make research findings convincing for both research experts and non-experts.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience in an applied research setting, or similar.
• Experience in programming languages used for data manipulation and computational statistics (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB, C++, Java, or Go).

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Statistics, or a related field.
• Experience with Enterprise UX Research.
• Experience in multivariate statistics and in the design of experiments.
• Experience with industry data science practices, and with databases and industry metrics.
• Experience in programming computational and statistical algorithms for datasets.
• Experience with command of research questions within a domain, and of technical tools for the analysis of data within that field.
