Today, Fireworks is a Series D company valued at $17.5 billion, bringing together an ambitious, collaborative team that's building the future of enterprise AI.

The Role

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.

What You'll 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 — 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.

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?

  • 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.

Fireworks AI is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all innovators.

Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  2. Tell me about a project where product design was part of your work. What did you do?
  3. Tell me about a project where ux design was part of your work. What did you do?
  4. Tell me about a project where developer experience was part of your work. What did you do?
  5. Tell me about a project where design systems was part of your work. What did you do?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: AI agents, Product Design, UX Design, Developer Experience, and Design Systems. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
