Product Manager, Gemini API Models, DeepMind

The Gemini API and Google AI Studio have grown to support millions of developers and process trillions of tokens, becoming a critical part of how many of Google customers access our latest AI models. As the pace of model development accelerates with new Gemini generations, new modalities, tools, and consumption tiers, the process of bringing these models to developers is becoming both more complex and more consequential. Every model launch is an opportunity to strengthen the developer relationship and make our next generation of models better.

As Product Manager, you will be the developer's advocate in the model development and release process, partnering closely with the Developer Experience (DevX) and Platform teams and multiple cross-functional Product Areas to ensure a unified release.

Working closely with API and research teams, you will own the end-to-end model lifecycle on the Gemini API and Google AI Studio core UI surface. Starting with validating model capabilities and the API surface during our Early Access Program, you will ensure every model ships with sensible defaults, excellent tooling support, clear documentation, and a strong GTM strategy. You will be accountable for successfully landing the model via driving post-launch adoption, ensuring long-term developer success, and delivering sustained business impact.

In this role, you will bring relentless developer empathy to model decisions, establish continuous developer feedback loops, and make sure developer signals shape what the research team builds next.

Success means developers love how Gemini models show up on our platform and we have a robust, real-time understanding of how our models perform in real-world developer workloads that influence modeling roadmap.

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.
