About the Role
The OpenClaw Foundation is seeking a Product Designer to help define how millions of people interact with AI agents in their daily lives. This role involves inventing new interaction paradigms for the agent era, designing systems for human-AI collaboration, and translating complex technical capabilities into intuitive user experiences across various products and initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end product design from concept through implementation across The Foundation’s products and initiatives.
- Design intuitive experiences for AI agents, workflows, developer tools, and user-facing applications.
- Collaborate closely with engineers and researchers to translate emerging AI capabilities into usable products.
- Create wireframes, prototypes, interaction flows, visual systems, and production-ready designs.
- Conduct user research and synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights into product decisions.
- Explore new interaction paradigms for human-agent collaboration, delegation, memory, trust, and personalization.
- Help establish design systems, UX principles, and visual standards across the OpenClaw ecosystem.
- Contribute to standards discussions around agent identity, permissions, interoperability, and user control.
- Work directly with open source contributors and community members to gather feedback and improve product experiences.
- Champion user-centered thinking throughout the Foundation.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience designing software products, consumer applications, developer tools, or emerging technology platforms.
- Exceptional interaction design, visual design, and systems thinking skills.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of shipped products.
- Ability to simplify highly technical concepts into intuitive user experiences.
- Experience working closely with engineering teams and participating in product strategy discussions.
- Strong prototyping skills using tools such as Figma, Framer, Principle, ProtoPie, or similar.
- Excellent communication and storytelling abilities.
- Comfort operating in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
- Deep curiosity about AI, open source software, developer communities, and the future of computing.

About the Company
- The OpenClaw Foundation is the steward of the world's largest open source AI agent project.
- 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.
- The Foundation operates across three core mandates: Advancing research into the human-agent relationship while continuously evolving the OpenClaw platform; Maintaining and hardening the codebase to ensure security, reliability, and long-term sustainability; Establishing interoperability standards for the emerging agent era, defining how agents configure, communicate, establish trust, transact, and represent user identity across ecosystems.
- Modeled 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.
- The 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.
