You will play a crucial role in shaping how Small Businesses communicate, operate, and scale using generative AI. You’ll nimbly move from focusing on the visual and interaction design of the UI to the underlying quality of the model’s responses, leveraging complex cross-functional partnerships to articulate and guide the overarching product strategy. Key Responsibilities: Drive big product vision & build from the ground up: Lead the technical and design vision for Gemini’s Small Business experiences, designing and building foundational, 0-to-1 features and capabilities entirely from scratch. Define business & response strategy: Develop business strategies, communication frameworks, system instructions, and rubrics specifically designed to improve model response quality and relevance for use cases. Architect intuitive AI experiences: Lead the design of user interfaces and consumer experiences for Gemini across diverse platforms, ensuring natural, efficient, and deeply helpful multimodal interactions. Shape LLM behavior: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and other teams to define user-centered quality standards, establish evaluation methods, and directly shape the behavior and responses of underlying LLM models. Design with a systems-thinking approach: Apply a macro-level systems-thinking approach to design, understanding the impact of individual components on the overall AI-powered experience, optimized for AI's probabilistic nature. Craft visually compelling & fluid interfaces: Create high-fidelity visual designs, layouts, and engaging motion/interaction designs that make complex, AI-driven information highly accessible and aesthetically pleasing. Bridge design and technology: Leverage deep technical understanding to write system instructions and utilize diverse prototyping methods, simulating model responses to inform design requirements and engineering approaches. Champion innovation & ethical design: Stay at the forefront of generative AI advancements, considering the intricate interplay of AI models, UI, user safety, and societal impact to develop responsible, user-centered solutions. Minimum Qualifications: 10+ years of experience designing user interfaces and shaping content/responses for complex software applications, with specific experience designing for conversational AI / LLMs. A robust portfolio showcasing fluency in visual, motion, and interaction design, alongside examples of content/product strategy and 0-to-1 AI-powered product builds. Experience designing tools, communication platforms, or product experiences specifically tailored for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs). Demonstrated expertise in driving big product vision and guiding cross-functional teams (Engineering, PM, Research) through ideation, validation, and iteration. Strong systems thinker capable of moving seamlessly between deep technical model evaluation and high-level UX/UI design. Demonstrated experience thriving in a startup environment, comfortable with the ambiguity, rapid iteration, and resourcefulness required to build from the ground up. Excellent communication and storytelling capabilities, with the ability to articulate complex technical and design positions to leadership and cross-company teams. Preferred Qualifications: Experience training, tuning, and evaluating large language models or other generative AI technologies. Proven experience in shepherding radical ideas that leverage AI to create truly transformative product experiences. Experience gathering and working with data to identify loss patterns in model output and create actionable insights. Experience prototyping interactive experiences using tools like Figma, ProtoPie, or Framer. Experience "vibe-coding" or rapidly prototyping with tools like AI Studio, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, or similar AI-assisted development environments. Experience with front-end development technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Swift, Jetpack Compose) and coding tools (CLIs, IDEs). The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $178,000 USD - $265,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.
