We are looking for a Staff UX Lead to advocate our 'Connected apps' experience. You will be part of the exceptional team turning Gemini into a true, interactive partner that understands people’s goals and does real work to help achieve them.
In this role, you won’t just be designing features; you will be architecting the interaction model for the next generation of computing. You will act as a driver, not a passenger, owning end-to-end experiences that progress us towards autonomously productive AI. You are a relentless learner who thrives in fast-paced ambiguity and wants to shape the future of applied, agentic AI.
Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.
We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $188000 - $275000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits
Responsibilities
- Architect Agentic Experiences: 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.
- Design for Personal Context: 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.
- User Obsession: 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.
- Design for Probabilistic Systems: Apply deep systems thinking to create interfaces that gracefully handle the non-deterministic nature of AI, ensuring user trust, transparency, and control.
- Modern AI Workflows: Utilize modern motion and prototyping tools alongside Vibe Coding tools (Cursor, Claude, Antigravity) to rapidly build, test, and iterate on complex interactive experiences.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Design (e.g., interaction, graphic, visual communications, product, industrial), Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8 years of UX/UI design experience for consumer-facing software across various platforms (web, desktop, mobile).
- Include a portfolio, website, or any other relevant link to your work in your resume (providing a viewable link or access instructions).
Preferred qualifications:
- High proficiency in modern design tools (Figma) and AI-assisted workflow/prototyping tools (Cursor, Antigravity, Claude Code, etc.).
- Strong capability to balance data-driven design with navigating ambiguity, alongside a passion for building ethical, accessible, and user-centered AI solutions.
- Demonstrated expertise acting as a multiplier—guiding cross-functional teams (Engineering, PM, Research) through the zero-to-one lifecycle.
- Expertise in prototyping complex, interactive, and multi-modal experiences using front-end development technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) or advanced Vibe Coding.
- Experience driving product impact through close collaboration with user research, including expertise in methodologies specifically designed for evaluating non-deterministic AI products.
