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.

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.
