Senior Designer

About the company
Taste Labs is building the data and infrastructure layer for taste.
Our goal is to end AI slop. To make AI feel right, not just be correct. We raised $18.5M in seed co-led by Amplify and CRV, and most frontier labs are already customers.
AI has nailed objective domains and can generate anything. The hard part left is judgement: what fits, what feels like you, what's actually GREAT. We're turning that into something measurable, starting with design.
We do it on two sides: building the post-training data and RL environments that teach taste to frontier models, and the context and verification tools agents need to produce work that's more creative, more on-brand, more right.
If that problem excites you, you'll like it here!

About the role
This is not a typical design role. At Taste, design is the product. You will help to decode the fuzzy problem of what “great” means in design and have this wisdom feed into interfaces, eval design, and crafting products with our engineering and research teams.
If you have exceptional taste, a high bar for quality, strong opinions, and a diverse design background, this is for you.

YOU MIGHT BE A FIT

• 6+ years designing at brand-forward companies

• Your experience ranges from product design, to brand and beyond

• You have strong design fundamentals

• You have strong opinions and are great at collaborating with engineers

• You want to approach the question of "what is great design" like a researcher

NOT A FIT IF

• Your recent work leans too heavily enterprise/too safe

• You're a brand only designer that has not touches product design

• You need a large design org to be productive
