You will lead the team responsible for building and growing the Gemini app on iOS. You are a product-minded leader passionate about defining how people interact with AI on a global scale. You excel at leading teams to build high-quality native applications and thrive in the ambiguity of building novel UIs for emerging technologies.

• iOS Platform Stewardship: Act as the "Guardian" of the iOS app, setting the long-term technical roadmap and balancing rapid feature delivery with relentless modernization and technical debt reduction.
• Architectural Excellence: Lead the shift toward modular UI componentization and robust foundations to drive developer velocity, code reuse, and platform consistency across the Gemini ecosystem.
• UI/UX Innovation: Drive the implementation of novel, experimental UI patterns and high-performance interactions that define the next generation of AI-human engagement on mobile.
• Technical Leadership & Delivery: Direct the day-to-day execution of a high-tempo engineering team, unblocking complex technical challenges and ensuring the timely launch of performant, high-quality features.
• Strategic Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the primary technical partner for Product, UX, and Backend teams, influencing server-side infrastructure and translating ambiguous product goals into actionable technical strategies.

• Proven experience as a technical lead and/or engineering manager with a track record of supporting and leading high-performing mobile engineering teams.
• Extensive professional experience and expert-level proficiency in native iOS mobile development, with a history of shipping complex, user-facing applications at scale.
• Experience leading the delivery of large-scale technical projects, defining team roadmaps, and making critical architectural decisions in collaboration with product and UX partners.
• A passion for developing engineers, with direct experience in hiring, mentoring, and managing performance and career growth.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, capable of representing the team and driving alignment with senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.

You are a seasoned IOS leader who thinks at a system-level, consistently navigating ambiguity to deliver elegant and robust solutions. Your influence extends beyond yourself; you elevate the skills of the engineers around you through mentorship and by championing technical excellence. You have a product-driven mindset and a passion for craftsmanship, with a history of leading the architecture of successful mobile apps. While you are an expert in native mobile development, you also possess a strong command of the server-side, enabling you to design and build the supporting infrastructure that unlocks powerful client-side features. Familiarity with ML systems and LLM concepts is a plus but not required.
