Job description
At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." As a Quantitative User Experience Researcher (Quant UXR), you make this possible. You will join a multi-disciplinary team, collaborating closely with Engineering and Product Management to create industry-leading, innovative products.
You will drive impact at all stages of development by investigating user behavior through empirical methods like logs analysis, survey research, and regression. We value diverse educational experiences—from Computer Science to Psychology—and require a blend of behavioral research design, statistical proficiency, and programming skills to uncover actionable insights. Beyond the work, you will grow within a supportive Quant UXR community offering mentorship, regular meetups, and exclusive internal tools to help you thrive.
As a Quantitative UX Researcher on the Geo-Makers team, you will serve as a core quantitative engine driving user experience evaluation and measurement across Google’s geospatial developer and enterprise ecosystem, including Google Maps Platform APIs, Google Earth, Earth Engine, Environmental Capabilities, and emerging Agentic AI developer tooling. You will translate complex behavioral data into high-signal insights that land directly in product strategy and technical specifications, informing how developers and enterprise users build with geospatial intelligence.
The Geo team is focused on building the most accurate, comprehensive, and useful maps for our users, through products like Maps, Earth, Street View, Google Maps Platform, and more. Every month, more than a billion people rely on Maps services to explore the world and navigate their daily lives.
The Geo team also enables developers to use the power of Google Maps platforms to enhance their apps and websites. As they plot a course for the future of mapping, they are solving complex computer science problems, designing beautiful and intuitive product experiences, and improving our understanding of the real world.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $109000 - $155000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits
