Staff AI Product Designer, Google Gemini iOS

About the position Join Google DeepMind as a Staff AI Product Designer on the GeminiApp team, crafting world-class iOS experiences for Gemini. This is a unique opportunity to be at the cutting edge of AI interface experimentation, tackling ambiguous, high-impact design challenges. You'll be instrumental in inventing novel interaction patterns and rich multimodal experiences for users to get the most out of AI, with carefully considered connection to iOS guidelines & patterns. Your work will push the boundaries of interface design beyond today’s chat logs based on messaging apps, to create tomorrow’s “natively AI†interfaces. As the Staff (L6) AI Product Designer for Gemini on the iOS platform, you will be the architect of "first-of-their-kind" mobile interactions. We expect you to have 5 or more years designing for widely-respected iOS consumer apps. In this role, you aren't just designing an app; you are designing conversational experiences with agentic behaviors and system-wide intelligence. Your world-class solutions will show care and consideration for established native components and integrations that iOS users expect, while proposing novel new patterns that raise the bar for AI experiences on mobile devices. You will operate at the intersection of Google’s frontier models and Apple’s sophisticated hardware ecosystem. Your work will bridge the gap between high-latency LLM processing and the high-frequency, "instant-on" expectations of iPhone users. You will be a strategic partner to PMs, engineers, and researchers, ensuring that Gemini feels like a first-class citizen on iOS – intuitive, enjoyable, and indispensable. This role requires a blend of creative problem-solving, strong leadership, and a proven ability to translate complex user needs into impactful design solutions on the iOS platform.
