Eh, you've got it all backwards. You cannot get a job at X by going into the ordinary Google hiring pipeline, and in any case the Google hiring system does not hire people for specific products like Google Play Store. Furthermore, one does not freely transfer between X and Google, in either direction.


How does one get hired at X? Their jobs page just leads you to google.com/about/careers


Perhaps if you have to go to the jobs page, you are not qualified?

(It's like, if you have to ask for the price, you can't afford it?)


referrals and a PhD (usually)


Actually, they are part of the normal Google pipeline (or at least they were before the Alphabet split). A few years ago, I was contacted by a recruiter from Google and after talking to her I ended up being interviewed by someone for a job at Google X.


A few years ago was before Google reorganized into Alphabet.


I don't believe this is true. I know someone was initially picked to interview for YouTube but then got interviewed for X after declining YouTube.


YouTube has retained their own quasi-independent recruiting regime, along with X, Verily, Fiber, etc.
