About the Role OpenRouter 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. Weâre hiring a Product Designer to help shape both the product and how itâs 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). Youâll help define how OpenRouter works and how it communicates. This is a hands-on role for someone who ships. Youâll operate in an AI-first workflow , using modern tools to move quickly from idea â prototype â production-quality output. You should be comfortable working in the space between design and developmentâbuilding, iterating, and refining in close collaboration with engineers. What Youâll Work On Core product surfaces (dashboards, model pages, usage + analytics) Model discovery, comparison, and evaluation experiences Developer 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 ideas Key Responsibilities Product & UX Design clear, intuitive interfaces for complex systems (LLMs, APIs, routing, pricing, latency) Turn ambiguous ideas into concrete product direction and shipped experiences Own work end-to-end: concept â prototype â production Marketing & Brand Design and build high-quality landing pages and growth surfaces Create scalable templates (email, content, campaigns) Help evolve OpenRouterâs visual identity as the product expands AI-First Execution Use AI tools to accelerate design, prototyping, and iteration Move fluidly between design tools, code-adjacent environments, and production surfaces Prototype ideas quickly and validate through real usage Systems & Consistency Contribute to and evolve the design system Create reusable patterns for technical and data-heavy interfaces Maintain consistency across product and marketing surfaces Collaboration Work closely with engineers in a fast, low-process environment Review and understand PRs, frontend changes, and implementation details as needed Contribute to product and growth strategy, not just execution Communicate through prototypes and shipped work rather than long specs What Weâre Looking For Core Requirements 3â8+ years of product design experience Strong portfolio of shipped work Experience with complex or technical products (developer tools, SaaS, data-heavy apps) Design à Engineering Fluency Comfortable reading and understanding frontend code, PRs, and engineering workflows Able to collaborate directly with engineers on implementation details Able to use code-based or AI-assisted tools to prototype and iterate Ability to write code is a plus, but not required AI-Forward Builder Comfortable using AI tools as a core part of your workflow Able to move quickly from idea to implementation using modern tooling Interested in how AI changes how products are designed and built Product Thinking Strong ability to simplify complex systems Good judgment on scope, prioritization, and tradeoffs Comfortable working with ambiguity Craft & Execution High bar for visual design, interaction design, and clarity Ability to produce production-ready work with minimal iteration Attention to detail across both product and marketing surfaces Nice to Have Experience with AI/ML products or developer platforms Experience designing data visualization or analytics interfaces Experience designing high-performing marketing sites or growth surfaces Ability to write or meaningfully modify frontend code (e.g. React, HTML/CSS) Please mention the word **FLEXIBILITY** and tag RMTYyLjIyMC4yMzIuMTY4 when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMTYyLjIyMC4yMzIuMTY4).
