About the job

At Google, we “Focus on the user and all else will follow.” Our UX Engineers are versatile, passionate, and driven to advance the goal for our design teams. Comfortable working across discipline lines, you will develop products and prototypes that bring innovative ideas to life.

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.

As a part of this role, you will sit somewhere between a traditional iOS developer and UX engineer, shipping production-quality features in partnership with both engineering and design teams. In this role, you will need a strong knowledge of iOS development as well as experience working with research and design teams to define and deliver new features, test new concepts and assist with final implementation. You will work closely with interaction and motion designers to create a compelling interactive perspective, exploring novel interactions, building testable prototypes for usability studies, setting the bar for polish and animation quality, and assisting with final production implementation.
