Product Designer
About the role
Luma's mission is to build unified general intelligence that can generate, understand, and operate in the physical world. We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. So, we are working on training and scaling up multimodal foundation models for systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with our world to effect change.
What You'll Do
- Own features end-to-end. Lead the design process for major features, from initial product thinking and user exploration to pixel-perfect visual design and high-fidelity interactive prototypes.
- Design novel interactions. Go beyond static screens. Design and prototype fluid, novel interactions for a new medium, taking complex AI concepts and making them feel intuitive and powerful.
- Build functional prototypes with AI. Use AI coding tools to create working prototypes and shippable features, working in close collaboration with engineering.
- Uphold a high bar for craft. Create exceptionally high-quality visual designs, interactions, and prototypes, demonstrating world-class taste and an obsession with detail.
- Drive work forward through ambiguity. Operate effectively in a fast-paced startup environment where direction is not always clear. Step into problems before being asked, make decisions with incomplete information, and push work forward independently.
- Collaborate across disciplines. Work closely with engineers, product, and AI researchers to explore new use cases, shape product strategy, and ensure the design vision ships at high quality.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of experience building delightful and innovative products at scale.
- Equally strong in craft and product thinking. You demonstrate excellence across visual design, interaction design, and product thinking.
- Integrate AI deeply into how you work. AI is visibly woven into your portfolio and your process. You can speak concretely about how AI has changed the way you design and the outcomes you produce.
- Experience building functional prototypes using AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code.
- Ship. Your portfolio demonstrates work that made it to production, not just explorations and concepts. You show the full arc: how you framed the problem, how the work evolved, and what impact it had.
- Show your thinking. Your portfolio includes prototypes, iterations, and experimentation, not just polished final deliverables. You can articulate what you prioritized, what you cut, and why.
- Move fast and converge. You are comfortable with rapid exploration and know when to stop iterating and commit to a direction. You balance craft with speed.
- Create momentum. You have a track record of driving work forward without being asked, influencing decisions across teams, and raising the quality bar around you.
A Portfolio Is Required For Consideration
What Sets You Apart
- Creative tools experience. You have designed for complex creative software, such as video or photo editors, design tools, or developer tools. You have a deep, intuitive understanding of creative workflows and the mindset of a creator.
- World-class interaction design. Your portfolio is full of fluid, delightful micro-interactions, complex state transitions, and prototypes that go beyond static mockups. You can take abstract AI concepts and make them feel tangible and magical.
Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $225,000 – $325,000 per year.
