• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 10 years of experience in a technical, UX, or design setting, or related experience.
• 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).

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 drive progress and vision for design teams. They’re comfortable wearing many hats and get excited about working across discipline lines to develop products and prototypes that bring new ideas to life.

• Move beyond UI to build agentic workflows. Work with model APIs, orchestration frameworks, and tool chains 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.
