UX Research & Design Internship

FlavorScale is looking for a UX Research & Design Intern to help us build the most intuitive and addictive food discovery interface for Gen Z. Our product is currently built in Figma and live on Flutter, but as we move from MVP to a personalized, AI-driven platform, we need someone to ensure every swipe, map interaction, and recommendation feels seamless.

You won’t just be making things look "pretty"—ies you’ll be deep-diving into user behavior to understand how Gen Z actually decides where to eat.

Your Role in the Product

User Research: Conduct interviews and usability tests with our community to identify friction points in the current app.

Prototyping: Own our Figma workspace. Design high-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes for new AI-driven discovery features.

Iterative Design: Work closely with the Flutter developers to ensure your designs are technically feasible and perfectly implemented.

Visual Identity: Help evolve the FlavorScale brand across the app, ensuring it resonates with urban foodies in cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Berlin.

Who You Are

Background: Studying UX/UI Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), or Creative Media.

Tools: Expert-level at Figma. Familiarity with Miro for journey mapping is a plus.

The "Why" Mindset: You don't just design a button; you want to know if users actually want to click it.

Portfolio: You have a portfolio showing your process—from messy sketches and research data to polished UI.

FlavorScale

FlavorScale is a next-generation foodtech startup focused on revolutionizing how Gen Z discovers and connects with eateries. We solve the problem of fragmented, outdated, and inauthentic food discovery experiences that leave young food lovers scrolling endlessly yet never quite finding places that truly match their tastes and vibes. Current platforms often prioritize ads, generic ratings, or logistics rather than capturing the authentic culinary experience and community connection young users crave. FlavorScale’s platform is video-first and AI-powered, delivering engaging, personalized, and authentic food recommendations by harnessing behavioral data and smart algorithms. We bridge the gap between foodies and restaurants, empowering users to explore and share real experiences, and helping eateries reach the right audience with data-driven insights. Our live MVP has proven product-market fit, with strong success in Copenhagen, and we’re now preparing to scale through a larger pilot in a major Northwestern European city. By focusing exclusively on food discovery for Gen Z and combining community, AI, and real-time data, FlavorScale is poised to transform food discovery from a fragmented chore into an engaging, authentic, and efficient experience that benefits both consumers and the food industry. FlavorScale is building the definitive food discovery platform for Gen Z, video-first, AI-powered, and community-driven. Our MVP is live on Firebase, pre-pilot nailed strong traction in Copenhagen (our biggest win), and we're now scaling for a major Northwestern Europe launch with data insights that restaurants and brands crave. Why FlavorScale? Real momentum: Proven product-market fit from live MVP and pilots. Next: bigger city rollout, 2026 Q2 funding round, AI personalization at scale. Founding-level impact: Join a young, driven team as we build the core stack (Firebase, ML recs, event pipelines) with equity and ownership from day one. Foodtech at its best: Blend cutting-edge tech (React Native, Google Cloud, recommendation engines) with real-world testing in top food cities like Copenhagen, London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. High-agency culture: Ship weekly, collaborate daily, iterate from user data. In-person team time in Denmark/Netherlands (relocation supported).
