Role overview
SpaceXAI’s mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. The organization is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence with a flat structure, expecting hands-on contribution, strong communication, initiative, and prioritization skills. We are seeking a skilled AI Design Specialist to enhance SpaceXAI's models by providing high-quality data annotations and inputs tailored to design contexts, leveraging expertise in graphic, brand/visual, product/UI/UX, web, game design, or illustration to support the training of Grok.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate design outputs across formats, including visual assets, layouts, documents, websites, interactive prototypes, and/or games.
- Distinguish weak design from work that is actually clear, functional, and well-resolved; identifying and clearly articulating issues that look attractive but fail in use.
- Refine, restyle, or recreate outputs when they fall short, producing exceptionally strong examples.
- Write precise, well-reasoned annotations and critiques advising upon the difference between mediocre, good, and excellent design.
- Help label high-quality datasets spanning graphic design, interface design, web experiences, game feel, and related design writing.
- Collaborate with engineering teams on evaluation tasks, rubrics, and examples that set a high bar for design quality.
- Work across a wide range of briefs and styles, from simple static pieces to complex interactive products, while staying consistent in quality and judgment.
Requirements
- Demonstrated design excellence in at least one professional discipline, such as graphic design, brand/visual design, product or UI/UX design, web design, game design, or illustration.
- A portfolio (personal site, Behance, Dribbble, ArtStation, shipped product, published work, or equivalent) that shows strong taste and finished, high-quality work.
- Sharp eye for fundamentals: visual hierarchy, typography, spacing, color, composition, consistency, and clarity of communication.
- Ability to evaluate design quality even outside your primary specialty, and to say clearly what works, what does not, and why.
- Fluency in English, with excellent written communication for critiques, annotations, and design rationale.
- High attention to detail and comfort working from evolving instructions in a fast-paced evaluation setting.
- Comfort creating high-quality reference examples, not only scoring existing ones.
Nice to have
- Strength across more than one design domain (for example, graphic design plus web, or UI plus game design).
- Experience shipping or professionally reviewing websites, product interfaces, or games.
- Familiarity with accessibility and inclusive design principles (for example, contrast, readability, target size, and clear information architecture).
- Working knowledge of modern design tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or equivalent; frontend or game-engine familiarity is a plus but not required.
- Experience with generative AI design tools and a clear point of view on when AI output looks generic, broken, or actually well-designed.
- Prior experience in design critique, art direction, QA, design review, data annotation, dataset creation, or AI evaluation.
- Familiarity with Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and other remote work and collaboration tools.
Benefits
- health insurance
- 401(k) plan
- paid sick leave
