Senior Product Designer
About The Position
Gitwit is hiring a Senior Product Designer to lead product experience for new AI companies and set the studio's design quality standard. This is a hands-on, senior design-lead role focused on taking products from zero to one: shaping ambiguous ideas, getting close to users, making product decisions, prototyping, launching, learning from early signals, and iterating before handing a product to its founding team. The designer will lead one or two ventures during the year, owning each product experience from early concept through prototype, first launch, user learning, and iteration. They will establish polished, trustworthy experiences—including a clear design system, resolved states and edge cases, and implementation-ready specifications—and work closely with discovery, product strategy, research, engineering, brand, and venture leadership. The work includes designing AI-native workflows that account for variable outputs, uncertainty, review and correction, approvals, failure states, fallback paths, and user trust. The role calls for strong craft and product judgment in fast-moving, high-trust environments with incomplete information. It is based in Tulsa or Bentonville, with regular in-person collaboration; it is not a remote role, though occasional work from home is flexible.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of hands-on product design experience.
- Experience taking products from zero to one, from ambiguous early concepts to launch for real businesses.
- A portfolio of work that can be shared.
- 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 explore directions, choose one, explain tradeoffs, and define what would disprove the decision.
- Ability to design AI-native interactions and workflows that address uncertainty, user trust, and the need for human judgment.
- Ability to synthesize interviews, observations, and usage signals into product decisions.
- Clear cross-functional communication with engineers, strategists, researchers, and venture leaders.
- Comfort working quickly with incomplete information, high trust, and direct collaboration.
- Willingness to work in person in Tulsa or Bentonville; this is not a remote role.
- Genuine curiosity about how AI is changing product design.
Responsibilities
- Set and maintain the visual and interaction quality standard for the studio's products.
- Lead zero-to-one product design for new AI products from initial concept through first launch and iteration.
- Resolve product states, edge cases, and interaction details so experiences feel finished.
- Design AI workflows that account for variable outputs, incorrect or uncertain answers, human review, approval, fallback paths, and clear next steps.
- Generate and evaluate multiple design directions, make decisions, and communicate the reasoning.
- Prototype quickly to test assumptions and help the team learn before overbuilding.
- Translate user observations, research, and usage signals into product hypotheses, experiments, and design decisions.
- Collaborate closely with product strategists, researchers, engineers, designers, and venture leaders to make ideas testable products.
- Create and apply design practices and foundations that help products across the studio build consistently.
- Capture and share lessons from AI products about review, correction, approval, uncertainty, failure states, and user trust.
- Create early design systems, flows, states, and engineering specifications.
- Help run lightweight user tests or experiments and turn early findings into prioritized design iterations.
- Hand off products cleanly to founding teams when they are ready to take them forward.
Benefits
- Competitive salary.
- Meaningful equity in every venture the studio builds.
- Eight weeks off per year: five weeks of vacation and three weeks of paid holidays.
