You’ll be part of our Product team and work on shaping the next generation of ComfyUI across desktop and cloud. You’ll own end-to-end design for critical product areas: from early UX flows and wireframes to polished, production-ready UI. Your work will directly impact how millions of artists and engineers interact with AI. ## What You’ll Do - Design end-to-end product experiences across Comfy Cloud and desktop, from early UX flows to final polished UI - Translate deep technical systems into approachable, elegant interactions - Handle all the “real world” details e.g. empty states, edge cases, loading behaviors, and interaction feedback. Users should never feel lost or clueless on next steps - Collaborate closely with engineering to ensure seamless implementation and design fidelity, providing clear specs and design rationale. - Apply, maintain, and evolve ComfyUI’s design system, ensuring consistency across components, themes, and interaction patterns - Prototype, test, and iterate quickly to validate ideas - Contribute to a design culture that values clarity, speed, and first principles thinking ## Requirements - Strong portfolio demonstrating taste, creativity, and elegant solutions to complex product problems - Comfortable working independently, taking rough wireframes or specs to production-ready design - Experienced in collaborating with engineers to balance design intent with feasibility - Ability to simplify complex technical workflows without sacrificing flexibility or power - Fluency in Figma and modern design-system practices - Proven experience designing complex and creative digital products (e.g. video or image editors, 3D or VFX, video games, etc) - Prior usage of ComfyUI is highly desirable Salary: $150,000-300,000 plus equity Application Details Apply with your portfolio (required), resume, and a short note on why you want to design for ComfyUI. If your portfolio can’t be shared publicly, we can review it privately during the interview This is an in-person role in San Francisco. ## ABOUT COMFY Comfy (https://www.comfy.org) is the AI creation engine for visual professionals who demand control over every model, every parameter, and every output. The most powerful workflow engine for visual AI. Unlike tools that hide everything behind a prompt box, Comfy lets you connect models, processing steps, and outputs on a canvas where every decision is visible and every step is inspectable. It gives you the building blocks to create workflows nobody's imagined yet, and share them with everyone. What started as an open-source project in 2023 now has 4 million users, 60,000+ community-built nodes, and 150,000+ daily downloads. It's used by artists, filmmakers, game studios, designers, researchers, and VFX houses, including teams at OpenAI, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Ubisoft, EA, and Tencent. We're a small, intense team in San Francisco. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google, and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem long before working here. Low ego, high ownership. We work hard and demand a lot of each other, but we have fun. Everyone here is building something meaningful that will end up being our life's work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as top-tier talent, your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.
