About The Position

Gitwit is hiring a Senior Product Designer to lead product experience for new AI companies and establish the studio’s design quality standard. This is a hands-on, zero-to-one product design role focused on taking ambiguous venture concepts from early discovery through product direction, prototyping, first launch, user learning, and iteration. The designer will lead one or two ventures during the year, working closely with discovery, product strategy, engineering, brand, and venture leadership. The role calls for strong product judgment and craft. The designer will make early product decisions, develop and test prototypes, observe users, interpret research and usage signals, and translate learning into product hypotheses and design improvements. They will define interaction details, edge cases, workflows, design systems, and engineering-ready specifications, including AI interactions involving uncertainty, changing outputs, human review, approval, correction, and fallback paths. The designer will also help the studio capture and share lessons from its AI products so future ventures can build on them. Once a product and founding team are ready to continue independently, the designer will make a clean handoff and move on to another early product challenge. This is a full-time, non-remote role based in Tulsa or Bentonville, with regular in-person collaboration and flexibility to work from home occasionally.

Requirements

At least 5 years of hands-on product design experience.
Experience taking products from zero to one, from ambiguous early concepts through launch for real businesses.
A portfolio of work that can be shared and demonstrates product design experience.
Strong craft in typography, layout, hierarchy, color, and interaction, with shipped work resolved to a high standard.
Strong product judgment under uncertainty, including the ability to develop alternatives, choose a direction, explain why, and identify what would disprove the decision.
Ability to design AI-native interactions that account for uncertainty, trust, human judgment, and non-deterministic workflows.
Ability to synthesize interviews, observations, and usage signals into product decisions, and explain how that learning affected direction.
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 closely with the team in person in Tulsa or Bentonville; this is not a remote role.
Genuine curiosity about how AI is reshaping 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 early concept through first launch and iteration.
Resolve product states, edge cases, and interaction details to deliver polished experiences.
Design AI workflows that account for variable outputs, incorrect or uncertain answers, human review, approvals, fallback paths, and clear next steps.
Generate and evaluate design directions, make decisions, and clearly explain the reasoning and tradeoffs.
Prototype quickly to help teams learn and validate assumptions before overbuilding.
Translate user observation, 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 and real.
Create and share design practices and reusable foundations so ventures can build consistently.
Capture and share lessons about AI review, correction, approval, uncertainty, failure states, and user trust.
Develop early design systems, flows, states, and specifications that engineers can build from.
Support lightweight user tests and experiments, then turn early signals into prioritized design iterations.
Hand off products cleanly to founding teams when they are ready to carry them forward.
