Why we read it this way (9)
This role sits at the intersection of UX design and front-end engineering; 15-1255 (Web and Digital Interface Designers) was chosen as the primary SOC because the posting emphasizes UX craft, visual quality, interaction design, and prototyping as core outputs, but 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a strong runner-up given the emphasis on shipping production-quality UI code and full-stack capability.
The posting lists two locations — Seattle, WA and Mountain View, CA — with no indication of which is primary. Seattle is listed first and Washington state law disclosures are highlighted, so Seattle/CBSA 42660 is used; the Mountain View (San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA; CBSA 41940) metro is also relevant.
Google frames this role internally as 'Mid' experience level, which aligns with the 4-year minimum experience requirement.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience,' so no hard degree gate applies.
Compensation is $132,000–$190,000/year plus a 15% bonus target and equity; bonus and equity are not captured in the comp fields.
The 'application development in at least one platform/area (e.g., web, iOS, Android, CompDes, XR)' requirement is broad and platform-agnostic; it is captured as a general 'application development' must-have rather than platform-specific skills.
React, Chrome Extensions, and Electron appear together under a preferred qualification ('browser-based tools like chrome extensions, react, or electron'), so they are grouped as interchangeable alternatives under a single preferred skill.
Portfolio/work samples are explicitly required as part of the application ('Include a portfolio, website, or any other relevant link') but represent a submission artifact rather than a technical skill.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): front-end development, application development, motion design, full-stack development.
