Its mission is grounded in a foundational conviction: that AI must be open, safe, and ultimately owned by the individuals and communities who use it.\nThe Foundation operates across three core mandates:\nAdvancing research into the human-agent relationship while continuously evolving the OpenClaw platform;\n\nMaintaining and hardening the codebase to ensure security, reliability, and long-term sustainability;\n\nEstablishing interoperability standards for the emerging agent era, defining how agents configure, communicate, establish trust, transact, and represent user identity across ecosystems.\n\nModeled after the governance structures that shaped the open web and modern computing infrastructure, the Foundation serves as a neutral, multi-stakeholder convening body - the equivalent of W3C or the Linux Foundation for the agentic AI era. Major laboratories and infrastructure providers collaborate under its umbrella on shared, vendor-neutral infrastructure, with no single organization controlling the roadmap or direction.\nThe OpenClaw Foundation believes that individuals should have full sovereignty over their AI: their data, their interactions, and the behavior and personality of their agents. Open source is not incidental to this mission but central to it - code must remain free to use, modify, and build upon. The future of agentic AI will be defined by a broad, developer-driven community, not prescribed by any single commercial interest.\nThe Role\nThe OpenClaw Foundation is seeking a Product Designer to help define how millions of people interact with AI agents in their daily lives.\nThis is not a traditional product design role focused on optimizing existing workflows or incremental feature improvements. You will help invent entirely new interaction paradigms for the emerging agent era - designing systems where humans collaborate, delegate, communicate, and build trust with increasingly capable AI agents.\nAs one of the earliest designers at the Foundation, you will operate across product strategy, interaction design, prototyping, research, and visual design. You will work closely with engineers, researchers, open source contributors, and community members to translate complex technical capabilities into intuitive, delightful user experiences.\nThe work spans consumer products, developer tooling, agent interfaces, identity systems, trust and permissions frameworks, open standards, and experimental research projects. One week you may be prototyping a new agent interaction model; the next you may be helping define how users understand agent memory, permissions, ownership, or identity across interoperable ecosystems.\nThe ideal candidate is deeply curious about the future of human-computer interaction and excited to help shape how people interact with AI over the coming decade.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead end-to-end product design from concept through implementation across The Foundation’s products and initiatives.\n\nDesign intuitive experiences for AI agents, workflows, developer tools, and user-facing applications.\n\nCollaborate closely with engineers and researchers to translate emerging AI capabilities into usable products.\n\nCreate wireframes, prototypes, interaction flows, visual systems, and production-ready designs.\n\nConduct user research and synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights into product decisions.\n\nExplore new interaction paradigms for human-agent collaboration, delegation, memory, trust, and personalization.\n\nHelp establish design systems, UX principles, and visual standards across the OpenClaw ecosystem.\n\nContribute to standards discussions around agent identity, permissions, interoperability, and user control.\n\nWork directly with open source contributors and community members to gather feedback and improve product experiences.\n\nChampion user-centered thinking throughout the Foundation.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n5+ years of experience designing software products, consumer applications, developer tools, or emerging technology platforms.\n\nExceptional interaction design, visual design, and systems thinking skills.\n\nStrong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of shipped products.\n\nAbility to simplify highly technical concepts into intuitive user experiences.\n\nExperience working closely with engineering teams and participating in product strategy discussions.\n\nStrong prototyping skills using tools such as Figma, Framer, Principle, ProtoPie, or similar.\n\nExcellent communication and storytelling abilities.\n\nComfort operating in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments.\n\nDeep curiosity about AI, open source software, developer communities, and the future of computing.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience designing AI-native products, assistants, copilots, agents, or conversational interfaces.\n\nBackground designing developer tools, infrastructure products, APIs, or technical platforms.\n\nFamiliarity with open source communities and contributor ecosystems.\n\nExperience conducting user research or human-computer interaction studies.\n\nKnowledge of identity systems, trust and safety, permissions, or security-focused products.\n\nExperience contributing to design systems at scale.\n\nBackground in interaction design, HCI, cognitive science, psychology, or related fields.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5360,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
