About the job

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s UX Engineers are versatile and passionate about taking on new problems to push technology forward. They’re comfortable wearing many hats and get excited about working across discipline lines to develop products used by millions of people every day.

Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering insights about the attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of people who use our products to inspire and inform design. We collaborate closely with each other and with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for the people who use them, and for Google’s businesses.

As a UX Engineer, you'll work on the front end of our products in a challenging, fast-paced environment, helping to bridge UX best practices and production execution. You’ll demonstrate your creativity, analytical skills, and knowledge of user facing technologies to enable efficient, high quality execution and communications and launch innovative features to a global audience.

The AIR SWE Agents team in the AI Innovation and Research (AIR) organization in Platforms and Devices, that focuses on developing Software Engineering (SWE) agents that leverage latest advances in multimodal AI and coding models to revolutionize the way we develop software for Platforms and Devices, significantly reducing the toil faced by ~25k developers within Platforms and Devices and all over the world.

The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of researchers, product managers, and software engineers to conceptualize and rapidly build a wide range of interactive prototypes that explore novel user experiences for AI-powered software development.
• Design and build a range of prototypes for new IDE integrations, standalone agentic UIs, and other tools that help developers throughout the SDLC — ranging from prototypes and concept explorations to more robust, internally scalable versions.
• Effectively communicate and demonstrate your prototypes to a wide range of stakeholders, clearly articulating the underlying technology and the user value of your creations.
• Partner with product and engineering teams across P&D (e.g., Android Studio, Chrome Dev Tools) to translate futuristic concepts into actionable steps, influencing product roadmaps with tangible, working demos.
