Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end architectural roadmap for Gemini Web, steering the technical design and execution of our progressive migration from Angular to React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
- Pioneer modern frontend ergonomics across GeminiApp. Build intuitive migration bridges, codemods, fast local feedback loops (fast builds, HMR, testing harnesses), and reusable boilerplate that make migrating to and building in React a seamless experience for feature teams.
- Own the client-side observability and performance posture. Implement advanced instrumentation, real-time telemetry, and rigorous optimization strategies across Core Web Vitals, streaming token latency, asset delivery, and client memory.
- Architect robust, reusable primitives and infrastructure for mission-critical surfaces—including Web Search, Library/History, State & Session management, and the Gemini Web Design System.
