Design Research Engineer

**Types of questions you'll be thinking about:- What is creativity? How do we break down components of creativity?

• What leads to great and bad visual design? How can this be turned into an eval
• What are creative, interesting ways we can collect data
• How do we classify design styles?
• What is the best interface to collect designer feedback on their reasoning behind why they love or hate a particular design?
• What are fundamentals of typography, color, layout, alignment? How do I make this measurable?
• How would I develop a framework around what "great design" means?
• What is AI slop? How can I spot it?**

• 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
• Bonus: you've worked in creative technology companies, research labs or did your own personal projects on the subject.
