AI-powered creative tools for video. Used in Oscar-winning productions.

Why design matters here

Runway builds AI tools for professional filmmakers and artists, so the interface must translate enormously complex AI capabilities into something that feels natural to creative professionals. Co-founder Cristobal Valenzuela comes from NYU's ITP program (art meets technology). Runway's tools were used in the production of "Everything Everywhere All at Once," and they host the AI Film Festival — positioning themselves at the intersection of AI and creative culture.

9 open design roles

Runway
Sr./Staff Product Designer

Remote

Runway is the AI tool that creative pros actually adopt — features ship into real Hollywood and studio workflows. A senior/staff product designer here gets to define the editing paradigm for AI-native video, working alongside ML researchers who push state-of-the-art weekly.

Runway
Product Designer$220K–$290K

Remote

Product Designer at Runway, the company redefining creative tools with AI-powered video generation. Fully remote, small design team, and the product itself is a love letter to creative professionals. One of the most exciting design roles in the generative AI space right now.

Runway
Design Engineer

Remote

Design engineering at Runway means building the interface to generative video — surfaces nobody has shipped before for users who push the model harder than any other product team gets to see. The bar for craft and prototyping speed at Runway is famously high.

Runway
Art Director

Remote

Runway operates more like a creative studio than a typical AI startup, and the art director shapes the visual language of how they show up at festivals, on social, and in product launches. Rare to find an AD role at a tech company with this much creative range.

Runway
Social Media Creative

New York, NY

Runway sits at the frontier of AI filmmaking, and its social presence is where that experimentation goes public. This role hands a creator the keys to one of the most-watched feeds in AI media. It is a playground for anyone fascinated by where generative tools meet real craft.

Runway
Creative Director

Remote

Runway's brand work is closer to a film studio than a SaaS company — they sponsor festivals, release short films, and treat each model launch as a creative event. Creative Director here is genuinely cross-disciplinary: brand, film, product marketing, all under one role.

Runway
Copywriter

Remote

Runway's voice has matured into one of the more thoughtful in AI — talking to filmmakers and creatives in their language rather than the usual VC-pitch tone. A copywriter here gets to keep that voice consistent across product, launches, and film-festival sponsorships.

Runway
Creative Support Specialist (Contract)

Remote

Runway is absolutely killing it in AI creative tools and working with Oscar-winning productions is genuinely impressive. However, a contract Creative Support Specialist role is more about helping others use the tools than actually designing them, which puts this person on the support side rather than shaping the creative experience.

Runway
Creative Support Specialist, Enterprise

Remote; San Francisco; Seattle

Runway's AI video tools are genuinely impressive and used in major productions, but a Creative Support Specialist role feels more like customer success than design. The enterprise focus adds stability but limits creative impact compared to their core product development.
