About the Role

As a Staff Motion Designer at Gemini App, you will be responsible for creating dynamic, living systems that feel responsive, intelligent, and distinctly Gemini. You will be a key member of the UX team, working at the frontier of human-AI interaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead horizontally as a central motion design authority across the Gemini App UX team, driving a cohesive and innovative motion language across multiple product surfaces.
• Conceptualize and execute highly artistic, boundary-pushing motion concepts that define new paradigms for interacting with AI.
• Translate far-reaching creative ideas into scalable, working motion systems and entirely new visual languages that other designers and engineers can leverage.
• Champion new workflows, actively experimenting with and integrating emerging workflows, including AI-assisted prototyping, to rapidly bring ideas to life.
• Collaborate deeply with cross-functional teams, serving as a critical bridge to Engineering, guiding the technical implementation of motion to ensure high-fidelity, performant execution in the final product.
• Build motion systems that transform abstract concepts into entirely new visual languages that bring user experiences to life.
• Invent the future of motion design, pushing the boundaries of how motion is integrated into software.
• Partner closely with software engineering teams to implement complex motion into production environments.
• Serve as a bridge between wild, unconstrained creativity and rigorous, working systems.
• Think broadly about motion systems, transforming abstract concepts into entirely new visual languages that bring user experiences to life.
• Act as a bridge between creative and technical stakeholders, articulating abstract motion concepts and systemic design principles.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Animation, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Extensive experience as a motion designer, with a strong portfolio showcasing a high degree of artistic creativity, systemic thinking, and expertise in interactive motion.
• Expert-level proficiency in industry-standard motion and prototyping tools (e.g., After Effects, Cinema 4D, Rive, Lottie, Propie, etc.).
• Proven track record of successful cross-functional collaboration, specifically with software engineering teams to implement complex motion into production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in a lead capacity, influencing horizontal design systems and driving visual direction across multiple teams.
• Strong interest or hands-on experience with AI-driven design tools, creative coding, or rapid prototyping through 'vibe coding.'
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate abstract motion concepts and systemic design principles to both creative and technical stakeholders.
