FAANGs have UX Engineers whos main goal is to typically prototype ideas. The code they write is not always submitted to source. So a UXD works with a UXE to make ideas happen quickly to vet them out.
- tristanb 4y agoInteresting, do those roles pay well? I’ve never heard of a role that would fit me at a FAANG and didn’t think it existed but that’s exactly what I do.
- deepsun 4y agoAs SWE I'd pay for UX the most of the team. If they did a good job, then coding it is simple. Like 50% of typical SWE work are to figure out the UX.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoI was a UX prototyper at Microsoft myself, that’s how I met my wife who was working as a UX designer in the same studio. We didn’t have a name for it, my official title was just SWE. I haven’t heard of UXE being a real title at the current FAANG I work for, but I no longer work in a design studio.
