About the Job

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our Interaction Designers transform complex tasks into intuitive, easy-to-use experiences for billions of people.

YouTube Over-the-Top (OTT) brings premium movies, shows, and sports to YouTube. We package and promote this content through products like YouTube TV and PrimeTime Channels.

Our team is responsible for onboarding media companies, acquiring their premium TV content and metadata, modeling, understanding, enriching, packaging, and ultimately publishing it to serving systems.

We are looking for a UX designer to bridge systemic complexity and elegant user experiences. You will help design this self-serve ecosystem that empowers media companies to easily ingest, package, and manage their premium content. You will transform the technical workflows, like metadata modeling, content enrichment, and publishing pipelines, into intuitive and engaging interfaces. You will partner with engineering and product management to untangle these systems, ensuring the underlying technology translates into a frictionless, empowering journey for our partners.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories.

Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.
