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.
Google Ads is helping power the open internet with the best technology that connects and creates value for people, publishers, advertisers, and Google. We’re made up of multiple teams, building Google’s Advertising products including search, display, shopping, travel and video advertising, as well as analytics. Our teams create trusted experiences between people and businesses with useful ads. We help grow businesses of all sizes from small businesses, to large brands, to YouTube creators, with effective advertiser tools that deliver measurable results. We also enable Google to engage with customers at scale.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $151,000-$222,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities - Set and drive an original research agenda, drawing on your and the team's technical expertise in a variety of areas (e.g., behavioral science, cognitive science, vision science, data science) to advance understanding of how users experience and interact with Google's products, including how users experience and interact with ads.
- Identify, measure, and optimize drivers of consumer sentiment and engagement with Google's products. Evolve how product teams quantify user phenomena (e.g., attention, perception, information processing, utility, intent, attitudes, behavioral patterns).
- Design, conduct, and analyze UX experiments (i.e., in-product live experiments and highly controlled off-product experiments).
- Collaborate with analysts and engineers across Google to develop and maintain the metrics frameworks, research tools, and data infrastructure that power UX measurement.
- Demonstrate scientific and statistical judgement, producing insights and setting a standard for the broader community of quantitative researchers.
