Qualifications

• 5+ years of product design experience in developer tools or cloud platforms
• Figma expert with fluency in supporting tools (FigJam, Framer, Principle, or similar)
• Strong portfolio showing system thinking beyond visuals

Responsibilities

• Own design end-to-end from research to high-fidelity prototypes and iteration
• Translate complex AI workflows into clear interfaces (deployment, inference monitoring, agent orchestration)
• Build and evolve a scalable design system and component library
• Partner with Engineering and PM to influence product decisions and align design with engineering realities

Job description

• We’re looking for a Product Designer who’s obsessed with turning complex AI infrastructure into experiences developers actually love. You’ll own design end-to-end — from how developers deploy models, to how they monitor inference, to how they build AI agents on our platform
• This isn’t about making things pretty. It’s about making powerful things simple. You’ll partner with engineers and PMs who think deeply about systems, and you’ll use AI tools yourself every day to move fast and think bigger
• If you get excited about console UIs, API ergonomics, and making a developer’s “time to first inference” feel magical — we want to talk
• Own design from zero to ship — research, prototyping, high-fidelity design, and iteration based on real usage
• Make AI infrastructure intuitive — translate complex technical workflows (model deployment, inference monitoring, agent orchestration) into clear, usable interfaces
• Build and evolve our design system — establish the visual language and component library that keeps our platform consistent as we scale
• Partner deeply with Engineering and PM — sit at the table where product decisions are made, not downstream of them
• Design with AI, not just for AI — use AI-powered design tools to accelerate your own workflow. We practice what we preach
• Simplify developer experience across the platform — from onboarding to production, every touchpoint should feel cohesive and effortless

• 5+ years of product design experience, ideally in developer tools, cloud platforms, infrastructure products, or complex B2B systems
• Genuinely curious about AI — you use LLMs, you follow the space, you have opinions about where it’s going. This isn’t a checkbox; it’s core to the role
• A strong communicator who can articulate design rationale to engineers, PMs, and leadership
• Startup-tested — you’ve owned product areas end-to-end and thrive with ambiguity
• Figma expert with fluency in supporting tools (FigJam, Framer, Principle, or similar)
• A strong portfolio that shows you can think in systems, not just screens — we want to see how you solve hard UX problems, not just visual polish
• Experience designing for developer platforms, APIs, or cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Vercel, or similar)
• Familiarity with front-end development or design-to-code workflows
• Exposure to agent-driven UX patterns — how humans interact with autonomous AI systems
• An eye for turning technical constraints into design opportunities rather than limitations
