We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.
We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.
World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.
Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
We're looking for 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.
What you’ll do
- 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 terms 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
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- 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
- Knowledge of the creative tool space and genuine interest in how developers build with generative AI
- Experience in creating functional prototypes using AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
- At Runway, it's always a bonus if you have artistic and creative potential (particularly skills with video/audio editing, icon/typography design, illustration, etc.)
