About this role
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.
The web is what you make of it, and our team helps the world expand that potential. From open-source pros to user-experience extraordinaires, we develop offerings that enable people to connect, communicate, and collaborate. Our consumer solutions and cloud platforms give millions across homes, businesses, universities, and nonprofits the tools that shape their online experience while changing how they think about computing
In Google Search, we're reimagining what it means to search for information – any way and anywhere. To do that, we need to solve complex engineering challenges and expand our infrastructure, while maintaining a universally accessible and useful experience that people around the world rely on. In joining the Search team, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact on billions of people globally.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 6 years of experience in front-end development, technical UX design, or prototyping.
- Experience in application development in one platform/area (e.g., web, iOS, Android, CompDes, XR).
Preferred qualifications:
- 5 years of experience delivering production UI, interactive prototypes, or motion systems within complex product organizations.
- Demonstrated experience integrating AI models, LLMs, prompt engineering, generative UI workflows, or agentic developer tools into daily engineering workflows.
- Experience building or prototyping across Web and Native Mobile platforms (iOS/SwiftUI or Android/Jetpack Compose), ensuring seamless interaction and visual fidelity across operating systems.
- Experience architecting design token pipelines, developer harnesses, or design system component libraries.
- Deep expertise in UI animation mechanics, gesture dynamics, spring physics, cubic-bezier curves, and rendering performance optimization (avoiding layout thrashing, 60fps budgets).
- Integrate AI models, LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic developer tooling into your daily engineering process to accelerate prototyping velocity and test non-deterministic UI paradigms.
- Build Live Experiments and interactive sandboxes that validate user feel, frame rates, and latency under real-world LLM streaming conditions.
- Author production-grade front-end code and reusable components across Web (TypeScript, HTML5, modern CSS, Web Animations API) and Native Mobile (iOS/SwiftUI and Android/Jetpack Compose).
- Systemize motion tokens, container transforms, and fluid transition frameworks into the Search Design System (SDS) for scalable governance.
- Develop and maintain tooling, pipelines, and frameworks that empower partner teams, uplevel cross-functional craft, and dramatically shorten the design-to-implementation timeline.
