We are a modern media company that engages a global audience of more than 300 million monthly viewers on all major digital, mobile, and streaming television platforms, streaming 2.5+ billion views each month. We create award-winning video content and original programming in the categories of Food, Travel, and Home & Design that we share with an engaged, passionate, and global community.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for passionate people who want to change the world through the art of storytelling. People that are driven to disrupt the status quo and not just looking for another job. We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer to join our growing team!
Our Values:
• Tell a great story. Develop original and untold stories that inspire, excite, and delight. Great storytelling has the power to not only entertain but to shape culture.
• Embrace our world. Be globally-minded-value inclusivity and diversity, respect the richness of all cultures, and appreciate those who are different from yourself.
• Be constantly curious. Ask questions. Find answers. Always look for opportunities to learn and experience something new.
• Create community through experience. Treat every moment as an opportunity to create meaningful experiences to share. Shared moments build community.
• Own the Outcome. Think and act like an owner. You are entrusted to do what is best for Tastemade and for our community.

What you'll be doing:
• Lead UI and UX design across Tastemade's growing suite of products. This is a critical role with tons of visibility-your work will be shipped to millions of people around the world who care about taste.
• Work closely with product management to understand requirements, rapidly iterate on prototypes, and ultimately translate them into pixel-perfect designs to be implemented by engineering.
• Evolve and grow Tastemade's design system to ensure consistency and quality across products and platforms.
• Conduct qualitative and quantitative user research to supplement your design intuition with data.
• Balance big, outside-the-box design thinking with practicality.

What you'll bring:
• 5+ years of design experience at world-class consumer technology or media companies.
• Expertise in both UI and UX for digital consumer products.
• Cross-platform design experience including web, mobile, email, and OTT.
• Love for creating designs that look great, are simple to understand, and easy to use for both casual and power users.
• Expert-level knowledge of industry-standard design tools like Adobe Creative Cloud, Sketch, Zeplin, etc.
• Familiarity with and a deep interest in contemporary consumer design and technology trends.
• Strong design opinions paired with the ability to amicably debate with executives and make compromises.
• Some level of agreement with the statement ''There is no such thing as user error, only bad design.''
• Comfort working with remote developers in other countries and time zones.
• The ability to thrive in an agile, fast-paced, and ambiguous environment.
• Passion for food, travel, and design.
