About the role
Job title: UX Engineer (3) Location: San Bruno, CA Pay: $95 - $115 per hour Start date: 10/21/2026 Duration: 3 Months to begin with Our client is currently seeking a UX Engineer (III) Project Overview This role offers a unique blend of rapid prototyping, design exploration, and technical execution. You will play a pivotal role in transforming abstract concepts into interactive prototypes that explore future user-facing products, as well as developing AI-powered tools that enhance internal workflows. Your work will enable teams to learn directly from users, inspire product vision with what is possible, and establish a tangible path forward for integrating cutting-edge AI technologies into core experiences. Minimum Qualifications * 5+ years of experience in front-end development, technical UX design, or interactive prototyping. Your Mindset & Approach * Thrive in Ambiguity: You are energized by environments where the problem space is undefined, technology is evolving, and the path forward is open-ended. You excel at creating structure, clarity, and direction in uncharted territory. * Think by Making: You believe that building tangible artifacts is the most effective way to explore, learn, and communicate ideas. You use code to make strategic vision and abstract concepts tangible and interactive. * People-First Orientation: You advocate that putting functional ideas in front of real users is the fastest way to validate assumptions, gather insights, and iterate toward impactful solutions. * Flexibility Across Fidelities: You are equally comfortable writing quick, disposable code in minutes to test a fleeting idea as you are building polished, robust prototypes designed for extended testing with internal teams and external end-users. * Frontier Exploration: You are driven to experiment deeply with emerging AI models and advanced tools, pushing their boundaries to uncover latent capabilities and novel interaction paradigms that deliver meaningful user value. Medical, dental, and vision insurance are available to qualified candidates who meet eligibility requirements.
