User Experience Designer III

Expedia Group (EG) is at the forefront of the travel industry’s platform and marketplace. The experience design organization has recently reorganized to strengthen the company’s commitment to Human Centered Design practices.

Our crew is crafting innovative products utilizing AI and machine learning, for user identity & profile, IAM (identity and access management), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), communications, maps and more.
