Design Research Engineer

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.

You will spend more of your day in code or with researchers than you will in Figma. If you’re curious, have an absurdly high bar for quality and are AI pilled, this is for you.

• You have amazing taste. You’ve honed your taste for years, you’re opinionated and have wide references, and you have the ability to separate what’s a personal preference vs. a ground truth
• You are deeply curious and think like a researcher
• You are AI forward – you tinker with AI tools, you’re in claude code/cursor/codex, you ship design in code
• You are great at collaborating with others across design, product, research, engineering, customers
