About the job

At Google, we “Focus on the user and all else will follow.” Our UX Engineers are versatile and passionate about pushing technology forward, comfortable working across discipline lines to develop products used by millions.

You will join our multi-disciplinary UX team, collaborating with Engineering and Product Management, using user insights to create industry-leading products. Working on the front end in a challenging, fast-paced environment, you will bridge UX best practices and production execution. You’ll use your creativity, analytical skills, and knowledge of user-facing technologies to enable efficient, high-quality execution and launch innovative features to a global audience.

As a Design Technologist on the AI systems team you will engineer the “how” behind the next generation of AI.

In this role you won’t be polishing production code for launched products; you will be writing the code that proves an idea is worth building in the first place. You will turn abstract strategies into tangible realities, serving as the bridge between the “what if” of design and the “what is possible” of engineering.

You will work across modalities and models to explore the frontier of agentic interaction. In this role, code is your medium for design. You will build the functional scaffolding that allows us to test, break, and refine the behaviors of intelligent systems before they ever reach a roadmap.

The Core team builds the technical foundation behind Google’s flagship products. We are owners and advocates for the underlying design elements, developer platforms, product components, and infrastructure at Google. These are the essential building blocks for excellent, safe, and coherent experiences for our users and drive the pace of innovation for every developer. We look across Google’s products to build central solutions, break down technical barriers and strengthen existing systems. As the Core team, we have a mandate and a unique opportunity to impact important technical decisions across the company.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $236000 – $330000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + bonus + equity + benefits
