Product Designer

Fireworks • San Mateo, CA

8d • $160,000 - $191,000

About The Position

Fireworks is seeking a Product Designer to transform complex AI infrastructure into user-friendly experiences for developers. The role involves end-to-end design ownership, from model deployment and inference monitoring to building AI agents on the platform. This position emphasizes simplifying powerful technologies and requires close collaboration with engineers and PMs, utilizing AI tools in the design process. The ideal candidate will be excited about console UIs, API ergonomics, and creating a seamless developer experience.

Requirements

• 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 — you've 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 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.

Nice To Haves

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Benefits

• Solve Hard Problems: Tackle challenges at the forefront of AI infrastructure, from low-latency inference to scalable model serving.
• Build What’s Next: Work with bleeding-edge technology that impacts how businesses and developers harness AI globally.
• Ownership & Impact: Join a fast-growing, passionate team where your work directly shapes the future of AI—no bureaucracy, just results.
• Learn from the Best: Collaborate with world-class engineers and AI researchers who thrive on curiosity and innovation.
