About the role

Design Engineer for Runway Labs focused on AI video, world models, and agentic systems. Embedded in a fast-moving, exploratory lab environment to prototype, ship, and build tools that enable new creative and research workflows at the intersection of AI video and general world models.

Responsibilities

  • Prototype and implement novel user experiences at the intersection of AI video, world models, and emerging generative media
  • Design and build agentic tools and interfaces that allow researchers and creatives to interact with and direct AI systems in real time
  • Explore new application areas for AI video and general world models — from simulation and interactive media to research tooling
  • Stretch the limits of front-end engineering to broaden what’s possible in research and experimentation contexts
  • Create internal tools and frameworks used across design and engineering teams at Runway Labs
  • Work alongside researchers, engineers, and product designers to shape how we think about the future of AI-driven creativity

Qualifications

  • Genuine curiosity about AI video, world models, agentic engineering and generative media and an intuition for how to design meaningful interactions with these systems
  • Experience designing flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UIs for web and agentic products
  • Experience building agentic tools or interfaces — i.e., systems where AI takes actions, reasons over state, or drives multi-step workflows
  • Strong understanding of visual and interaction design, as well as usability testing
  • Comfort working in ambiguous, research oriented environments where the problem space is still being defined
  • Strong understanding of visual and interaction design, as well as usability testing.
