What Google Gemini means

Gemini is Google’s model family, notable for long context windows and native handling of images, audio, and video. Enterprises typically reach it through Vertex AI, Google Cloud’s managed AI platform, which is why we count Vertex AI mentions under the same term.

Google Gemini in New York job posts

9 of the 47 New York AI companies we track name Google Gemini in at least one open role today, across 20 postings. 16 of those are based in New York; the rest are remote or in the companies’ other offices.

This is engineering vocabulary: 70% of the postings that name it are Engineering roles.

Headway alone accounts for 8 of the 20 postings, which is why we lead with the company count: one employer’s hiring push should not read as a market trend.

How to read it

Named less often than OpenAI or Anthropic in New York startup postings, and frequently in the same sentence as both. A posting that lists all three describes a multi-provider stack where model choice is an engineering decision made per task.

Open roles naming Google Gemini

A sample from today’s data, New York roles first and one per company before any repeats. Links go to the employer’s own posting. For the full market, see AI jobs in NYC.

How this is counted

Every day we read the open roles on the public job boards of the New York AI companies in our coverage — the NYC AI 100 and the AI in NYC Show roster. This term is matched against each role’s description after removing the text a company repeats across its postings, so an “About us” paragraph cannot tag every role the company has open. A vendor’s own postings never count toward its own name.

The figure means named in a job posting. It does not mean used in production, and a “nice to have” counts the same as a requirement. Companies are the headline number because posting counts are dominated by whichever few employers are hiring hardest this month.

Full method, including the pay rules, is on the glossary index; the underlying series is the NYC AI Hiring Index.
