About the job:
As a Motion Designer for Gemini in Chrome, you will shape the future of AI-powered browsing. You won't just make things move; you will define the physicality and personality of Chrome UI. You will collaborate closely with UX designers, researchers, engineers, and product managers to create seamless transitions, micro-interactions, and expressive visual feedback that helps users trust and understand AI.
The ideal candidate possesses an exceedingly high bar for motion quality, keen eye for detail, and the ability to iterate quickly in fast-moving environments.

Engineering Collaboration: Work side-by-side with Chrome engineers to implement motion specs, ensuring performance and smoothness on desktop hardware.
Ownership of implementation: Test the product and file bugs when the design isn't up-to-spec. Collaborate with engineers to get it there
System Design: Define durable patterns that can be repeated across the interface to create a cohesive motion system
Asset Production: Deliver production-ready assets (e.g. Lottie, Video)
