  • 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 → prototype → production
  • Design and build high-quality landing pages and growth surfaces
  • Create scalable templates (email, content, campaigns)
  • Help evolve OpenRouter’s visual identity as the product expands
  • 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
  • Contribute to and evolve the design system
  • Create reusable patterns for technical and data-heavy interfaces
  • Maintain consistency across product and marketing surfaces
  • 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

Requirements

  • Experience with complex or technical products (developer tools, SaaS, data-heavy apps)
  • 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

  • Good judgment on scope, prioritization, and tradeoffs
