Staff UX Lead driving the interaction design for Google's AI assistant, Gemini. Leading UX strategy to create low-friction, engaging user experiences across applications.
Responsibilities
Lead the UX strategy and interaction design for Gemini's Connected Apps, defining how users delegate life tasks so they can focus on what matters most.
Create unparalleled, low-friction experiences that weave together user information across Google products and third-party services, while designing granular, easy-to-understand controls to maintain user trust.
Deeply understand what users think, feel, and want, using that empathy to obsess over every pixel, obliterate latency, and ensure users feel efficient, capable, and delighted.
Embrace a "demos over decks" philosophy, translating abstract AI capabilities into testable prototypes to drive rapid experimentation and hypothesis-driven learning.
Apply deep systems thinking to create interfaces that gracefully handle the non-deterministic nature of AI, ensuring user trust, transparency, and control.
Utilize modern motion and prototyping tools (Rive, LottieLab, Spline) alongside Vibe Coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity) to rapidly build, test, and iterate on complex interactive experiences.
Requirements
7+ years of UX/UI design experience for complex, consumer-facing software across diverse platforms (web, desktop, mobile)
A robust portfolio showcasing fluency in visual, motion, and interaction design, with clear evidence of content-first thinking that goes beyond beautiful pixels to solve end-to-end user journeys.
High proficiency in modern design tools (Figma) and AI-assisted workflow/prototyping tools (Cursor, Antigravity, Claude Code, etc.).
Demonstrated expertise acting as a force multiplier—guiding cross-functional teams (Engineering, PM, Research) through the zero-to-one lifecycle.
Strong capability to balance data-driven design with navigating ambiguity, alongside a passion for building ethical, accessible, and user-centered AI solutions.
Entrepreneurial / Self-Starter: High role fluidity and a builder's mindset; a natural tinkerer who is intrinsically motivated to experiment with new technologies and ship zero-to-one ideas
Expertise in prototyping complex, interactive, and multi-modal experiences using front-end development technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) or advanced Vibe Coding.
Proven experience shepherding radical ideas and complex AI concepts into truly transformative, user-centered product visions.
Experience driving product impact through close collaboration with user research, including expertise in methodologies specifically designed for evaluating non-deterministic AI products.
Experience mentoring more junior teammates and elevating team craft (note: this is a non-managerial role).
