About The Position

Full-Stack Builder for an AI-First Venture Studio. We’re not hiring just another software engineer. We’re hiring a senior product-minded software engineer who can lead technical direction, architect scalable systems from 0→1, and mentor other engineers while staying close to users and product impact. Great engineers build elegant infrastructure. Great product engineers go further. They ask what should be built, not just how. They care about usability, business impact, and long-term technical health. They thrive on solving user problems, not just implementing specs. Gitwit is a venture studio focused on building AI-native startups. Over the next 5 years, we’ll launch 15+ new software companies from scratch, with a rigorous process of insight discovery, rapid prototyping, building lean MVPs, and user-driven iteration. In the last 18 months alone, ventures we've launched have already created $35 million in valuation, and we’re just getting started. This is a rare opportunity to help shape not just products, but entire companies by working on meaningful problems alongside a team built for velocity, learning, and invention. At Gitwit, we’re building startups the hard way: from first principles. That means beginning with real user pain, behavioral data, and frontline discovery. Our product engineers work closely with sales, research, design, and strategy teams to translate what users need (and wish existed) into software that feels sharp, useful, and inevitable. You’ll be embedded in small, cross-functional teams with autonomy to define technical direction and product scope. You’ll move fluidly between shipping prototypes fast and building production-grade applications that can scale with traction. We’re not looking for someone to just write code. We’re looking for a builder who ships daily. Someone who makes new features, improvements, and bug fixes that create raving fans and fuel tighter user feedback loops. Your Impact: To win in the marketplace, great startups need more than good ideas. They need technically sound, delightfully usable products that evolve fast. That’s where you come in. You’ll bring technical depth, architectural judgement, and product intuition to early-stage ventures. You’ll help define what gets built, why it matters, and how it scales. This is a rare chance to be the kind of engineer who creates new value, not just executes on it. If you want a seat at the product table, not just a terminal, let’s talk.

5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience
Previous startup experience or a strong desire to work in early-stage environments
