Job description

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

We’re hiring a Senior Designer to partner directly with Thais and Maria (founding designer) on the core product and brand of Taste. You’ll help shape what an “AI company with actual taste” looks and feels like — across product, brand, marketing, and everything in between.

This is a generalist-spiked senior role. We need someone who can go deep on product design and pull up to own a brand moment when it matters. Mixed experience between Product Design and Brand is a big plus; pure enterprise Product Design or pure Brand-only is less interesting for this seat.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
  • Core product design for our web app and creative AI tooling
  • Brand surfaces: website, launch assets, marketing, social presence
  • Design system partnership with our Design Engineer
  • Prototyping new product directions alongside Thais and the team
  • Helping set the bar for visual quality across everything Taste ships
YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF
  • 6+ years designing at consumer or creative-forward companies
  • A portfolio that mixes strong product work and some flair — fun startups, cool side projects, interesting visual point of view
  • Background at places like Figma, Notion, Linear, Arc, Stripe, Vercel, Adobe, Anthropic, a creative studio, or a seriously tasteful startup
  • Comfortable being hands‑on: wires to high‑fidelity to ready‑to‑ship, you own the full arc
  • You have strong opinions and are great at collaborating with engineers
NOT A FIT IF
  • Your recent work leans heavily enterprise (Salesforce, Asana, Twilio, Monday — sorry!)
  • You’re a brand‑only designer who hasn’t touched product in years
  • You need a large design org to be productive
