About the job

At Google, we "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Our UX Engineers are versatile, passionate, and driven to advance the vision for our design teams. Comfortable working across discipline lines, you will develop products and prototypes that bring innovative ideas to life. Joining a multi-disciplinary UX team, you will collaborate with Engineering and Product Management, using user insights to create industry-leading products. In a fast-paced environment, you will use your creativity, analytical skills, and knowledge of user-facing technologies to: create prototypes that define product experiences; launch innovative features; build tools to accelerate UX teams; and bridge design and engineering to ensure efficient, high-quality execution.

Responsibilities

Move beyond UI to build agentic workflows.

Work with model APIs, orchestration frameworks, and toolchains to implement realistic interactions where the "happy path" isn't guaranteed.

Create functional artifacts that challenge assumptions.

Produce unsolicited provocations that channel the organization to grapple with new technical realities and emerging user experiences.

Partner with designers and strategists to "jam" in code.

Iterate rapidly across fidelities to clarify direction and unblock decision-making during messy, early-stage conceptualization.

Identify technical constraints and opportunities by working directly with models.

Ensure design strategy is grounded in technical reality, plotting a viable course from the start.

Partner with storytellers to package explorations into compelling demos.

Enable leadership to experience the future firsthand through tangible, working prototypes.

Qualifications

Minimum

Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.

10 years of experience in a technical, UX, or design setting, or a related field.

5 years of experience in front-end engineering, prototyping, or interactive systems.

Experience in prototyping state machines, conversational logic, and the unique challenges of building non-deterministic interfaces (LLMs, Agents).

Preferred

Experience integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) or Agentic tools into web-based prototypes.

Experience building orchestration logic or "middleware" for UX experiments.

A portfolio demonstrating prototypes that influenced product strategy or roadmap decisions.
