We craft extraordinary visual experiences that transform complex data into intuitive, explorable stories – whether you're diving into global demographics, sports analytics, or financial trends. Our visualizations serve as dynamic mini-encyclopedias, enriching AI-powered search experiences for millions of users across platforms like Perplexity and Liner. We're proud to work with authoritative data sources to ensure our visualizations aren't just beautiful, but truthful and substantiated. As we expand into new domains and push the boundaries of AI search, we're looking for a visionary designer who shares our passion for making knowledge both accessible and captivating.

  • Design intuitive and visually compelling knowledge cards and data visualizations that simplify complex information
  • Develop and iterate on design systems that will scale with Tako as we grow
  • Engage with customers to gather feedback and refine design solutions to meet their needs
  • Advocate for best practices in design and usability, ensuring Tako’s products are both functional and beautiful

  • A strong portfolio showcasing your ability to design clean, intuitive, and efficient interfaces
  • A passion for creating beautiful and impactful products that users love
