Fireworks AI are hiring a
Product Designer
About Us:
At Fireworks, were building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Our platform delivers the highest-quality models with the fastest and most scalable inference in the industry. Weve been independently benchmarked as the leader in LLM inference speed and are driving cutting-edge innovation through projects like our own function calling and multimodal models. Fireworks is a Series C company valued at $4 billion and backed by top investors including Benchmark, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Index, and Evantic. Were an ambitious, collaborative team of builders, founded by veterans of Meta PyTorch and Google Vertex AI.
The Role
Were looking for a Product Designer whos obsessed with turning complex AI infrastructure into experiences developers actually love. Youll 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 isnt about making things pretty. Its about making powerful things simple. Youll partner with engineers and PMs who think deeply about systems, and youll use AI tools yourself every day to move fast and think bigger.
If you get excited about console UIs, API ergonomics, and making a developers "time to first inference" feel magical — we want to talk.
What Youll Do
- 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.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of product design experience, ideally in developer tools, cloud platforms, infrastructure products, or complex B2B systems.
- 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.
- Figma expert with fluency in supporting tools (FigJam, Framer, Principle, or similar).
- Startup-tested — youve owned product areas end-to-end and thrive with ambiguity.
- Genuinely curious about AI — you use LLMs, you follow the space, you have opinions about where its going. This isnt a checkbox; its core to the role.
- A strong communicator who can articulate design rationale to engineers, PMs, and leadership.
Even Better If You Have
- 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.
Why Fireworks AI?
