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.
What these roles pay
Midpoints of 9 distinct salary ranges posted on New York roles that name Google Gemini. Base salary only; on-target earnings are excluded, and a range repeated across one company’s postings counts once. For comparison, the median across all New York engineering postings is $215k. A term’s pay reflects the roles that name it as much as the skill itself — see the role mix below before reading a premium into it. Full bands by function and seniority are in the NYC salary calculator.

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.
