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.

Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multidisciplinary 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 as part of a UX team in a challenging, fast‑paced environment. You’ll demonstrate your creativity, analytical skills, and knowledge of user‑facing technologies to create prototypes that identify the best product experiences, launch innovative features, build tools that accelerate UX teams, bridge between design and engineering discussions, and enable efficient, high‑quality execution.

In this role, you will actively write code and build prototypes designed for real‑world usage, working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with our talented software engineers. You will also take a leadership role in shaping nuanced and intuitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) interactions, collaborating closely with Jigsaw's expert research and design team.

Jigsaw is an incubator within Google that builds technologies to give people greater agency in the world around them. Across the globe, we're more connected than ever before, to information and to each other, yet many of us feel disconnected from the decisions and systems that affect our lives. We believe that AI can bridge this divide between the desire to shape our world and the ability to do so.

Jigsaw offers mission‑driven work within a nimble interdisciplinary team, connections to academia and civil society, and a quick path to taking technology public.
