About The Position

Gitwit is hiring a senior Product Designer to lead the product experience for new AI companies and establish the studio’s design quality standard. The designer owns product experience from early concept through prototyping, launch, user learning, and iteration, helping shape ambiguous ideas into products that are clear, polished, and testable. The role involves leading zero-to-one product design for approximately one or two ventures each year, collaborating closely with discovery, product strategy, research, engineering, brand, and venture leadership. The designer will make product decisions, prototype quickly, observe users, interpret early signals, and turn learning into product improvements. They will also create clear design systems, resolved states and edge cases, and engineering-ready specifications before handing products to founding teams. A key focus is designing AI-native workflows that account for variable outputs, uncertainty, errors, human review, approvals, fallback paths, and user trust. The designer will help the studio capture and share lessons from its AI products so future ventures can build on them. This is a high-trust, fast-paced, hands-on role for someone comfortable working with incomplete information and close, regular in-person collaboration. The position is based in Tulsa or Bentonville and is not remote.

Requirements

At least 5 years of hands-on product design experience.
Experience taking products from zero to one, from an ambiguous concept through launch for real businesses.
A portfolio of work that demonstrates product design experience and craft.
Strong command of typography, layout, hierarchy, color, and interaction, with shipped work resolved to a high level of finish.
Strong product judgment under uncertainty, including the ability to develop options, select a direction, explain why, and define what could disprove it.
Ability to design AI-native interactions beyond conventional forms, dashboards, and deterministic workflows.
Ability to synthesize interviews, observations, and usage signals into product direction and decisions.
Clear communication and collaboration with engineers, strategists, researchers, and venture leaders.
Comfort working quickly with incomplete information, high trust, and direct collaboration.
Willingness to work with the team in person in Tulsa or Bentonville; this is not a remote role.

Nice To Haves

Genuine curiosity about how AI is reshaping product design; machine learning expertise is not required.
Willingness to relocate for the opportunity, if not already based near Tulsa or Bentonville.

Translate user research, observations, and usage signals into hypotheses, experiments, and design decisions.
Collaborate closely with product strategists, researchers, engineers, designers, and venture leaders.
Create reusable design foundations and practices across the studio.
Capture and share lessons about AI product review, correction, approval, uncertainty, failure states, and user trust.
Develop design systems, flows, states, and specifications that engineers can build from consistently.
Support lightweight user tests and experiments, then prioritize design iterations based on early findings.
Contribute to how new ventures are presented, including decks, early websites, prototypes, and product explanations.
