About the RoleOpenRouter is the largest marketplace of LLMs, providing a unified API to access and orchestrate models across providers. As the platform grows, so does the complexity of how developers discover, evaluate, and integrate models into real applications.We’re hiring a Product Designer to help shape both the product and how it’s presented.This role spans core product surfaces (user dashboards, documentation, model pages, rankings, policy & guardrails, chatroom) and external-facing surfaces (landing pages, email templates, and other marketing touchpoints). You’ll help define how OpenRouter works and how it communicates.This is a hands-on role for someone who ships. You’ll operate in an AI-first workflow, using modern tools to move quickly from idea → prototype → production-quality output. You should be comfortable working in the space between design and development—building, iterating, and refining in close collaboration with engineers.What You’ll Work OnCore product surfaces (dashboards, model pages, usage + analytics)Model discovery, comparison, and evaluation experiencesDeveloper workflows (API onboarding, docs, playgrounds, integrations)Marketing and brand surfaces (landing pages, email templates, growth experiments)New product directions (tooling, marketplaces)Rapid prototypes to explore and validate ideasKey ResponsibilitiesProduct & UXDesign clear, intuitive interfaces for complex systems (LLMs, APIs, routing, pricing, latency)Turn ambiguous ideas into concrete product direction and shipped experiencesOwn work end-to-end: concept → prototype → productionMarketing & BrandDesign and build high-quality landing pages and growth surfacesCreate scalable templates (email, content, campaigns)Help evolve OpenRouter’s visual identity as the product expandsAI-First ExecutionUse AI tools to accelerate design, prototyping, and iterationMove fluidly between design tools, code-adjacent environments, and production surfacesPrototype ideas quickly and validate through real usageSystems & ConsistencyContribute to and evolve the design systemCreate reusable patterns for technical and data-heavy interfacesMaintain consistency across product and marketing surfacesCollaborationWork closely with engineers in a fast, low-process environmentReview and understand PRs, frontend changes, and implementation details as neededContribute to product and growth strategy, not just executionCommunicate through prototypes and shipped work rather than long specsWhat We’re Looking ForCore Requirements3–8+ years of product design experienceStrong portfolio of shipped workExperience with complex or technical products (developer tools, SaaS, data-heavy apps)Design × Engineering FluencyComfortable reading and understanding frontend code, PRs, and engineering workflowsAble to collaborate directly with engineers on implementation detailsAble to use code-based or AI-assisted tools to prototype and iterateAbility to write code is a plus, but not requiredAI-Forward BuilderComfortable using AI tools as a core part of your workflowAble to move quickly from idea to implementation using modern toolingInterested in how AI changes how products are designed and builtProduct ThinkingStrong ability to simplify complex systemsGood judgment on scope, prioritization, and tradeoffsComfortable working with ambiguityCraft & ExecutionHigh bar for visual design, interaction design, and clarityAbility to produce production-ready work with minimal iterationAttention to detail across both product and marketing surfacesNice to HaveExperience with AI/ML products or developer platformsExperience designing data visualization or analytics interfacesExperience designing high-performing marketing sites or growth surfacesAbility to write or meaningfully modify frontend code (e.g. React, HTML/CSS)Please mention the word **FLEXIBILITY** and tag RMzguNjguMTM0LjE5NA== when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMzguNjguMTM0LjE5NA==).
