Senior Product Designer, AI Dev Platform & API

Madrona Venture Labs; United States; Remote; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Runway is seeking a Product Designer to own the experience developers have building on Runway's API: the docs, the console, and the moment someone goes from reading a reference page to a working integration.

You'll partner with platform engineering and product to turn a fast-moving API surface into something developers can actually pick up and use, shipping playgrounds, quickstarts, and clear interfaces as new models and endpoints arrive.

Qualifications

• Experience designing developer-facing products with a platform or tool you've shipped to point to.
• Comfort translating technical concepts into interfaces a developer can use without reading a manual first.
• Experience designing flows, prototypes and high-fidelity UI's for web products, with strong visual design skills.
• Experience delivering and iterating fast in close collaboration with engineering teams.
• Ability and flexibility to iterate fast and often.
• Passion for working with small teams, establishing a design culture, and creating a design-centric process within the company.

Responsibilities

• Design the developer console and API docs experience, from account setup and API keys to usage, billing, and rate limits.
• Prototype and ship playground tools, quickstarts, and code samples that let developers test endpoints and outputs before writing integration code.
• Turn new models and endpoints into clear, well-documented interfaces as the platform ships, keeping pace with a fast-moving API surface.
• Collaborate closely with platform engineering to design authentication, webhooks, and other technical flows in which developers actually understand.
• Contribute to visual and interaction consistency between the developer platform and the rest of Runway's product.
• Set the design direction for the developer platform as a whole and mentor other designers working on it.
