Product Designer, AI (0 to 1)

Gitwit is building AI-native ventures from the ground up, validating what matters and turning early promise into products teams can learn from quickly. In this role, you will lead zero-to-one product design for new AI products, shaping the product experience from early concepts through prototypes, first launch, learning, and iteration.

This onsite position is based in Tulsa, OK, with a compensation range of USD 140,000 - 170,000 per yearly and a requirement of 5+ years of product design experience.

What you’ll do

• Set and maintain the studio’s visual and interaction quality standards across products.
• Lead zero-to-one product design for new AI products, taking them from blank canvas through first launch and ongoing iteration.
• Own the hard parts that make software feel finished, including states, edge cases, and interaction details.
• Design AI workflows for systems that may not behave the same way twice, including changing outputs, wrong or uncertain answers, human review and approval moments, fallback paths, and clear next steps.
• Create multiple design directions, weigh tradeoffs, make decisions, and explain reasoning clearly.
• Prototype quickly to help the team test what is real before overbuilding.
• Translate user research, observations, and usage signals into product hypotheses, experiments, and design decisions.
• Work closely with product strategists, researchers, engineers, designers, and venture leaders to turn a promising idea into something ready to test.
• Bring discipline to how design is built across the studio, reducing the need to reinvent fundamentals.
• Capture and share what the studio learns about review, correction, approval, uncertainty, failure states, and user trust, so each new venture starts sharper.

What you bring

• 5+ years of product design experience, hands-on and deeply grounded in craft.
• Experience taking products from zero to one.
• A portfolio that demonstrates shipped work and your experience.
• Ability to craft and finish, with shipped projects showing clear command of typography, layout, hierarchy, color, and interaction, taken to resolved rather than roughly right.
• Zero-to-one ownership, including taking ambiguous product concepts from early stages to launch and explaining tradeoffs.
• Product judgment under uncertainty, including generating options, selecting a direction, explaining why, and defining what would prove the approach wrong.
• AI-native interaction thinking, beyond deterministic flows, toward workflows where AI handles work, communicates uncertainty, earns trust, and knows when to involve human judgment.
• Research-to-product synthesis, with examples of how interviews, observations, or usage signals changed product direction.
• Clear cross-functional communication that keeps engineers, strategists, researchers, and venture leaders aligned.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Meaningful equity in every venture the studio builds
• 8 weeks off per year: 5 weeks vacation + 3 weeks paid holidays
• Excellent health, vision, and dental insurance, with 99% of employee premiums paid
• 401(k) with 4% match
• Life insurance
• Paid parental leave
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Monthly parking stipend
• Weekly team lunches
• Dog-friendly office
• High-trust, high-autonomy culture
• Chance to work on multiple high-impact ventures each year
• Your own private office, plus collaborative workspaces in one of the coolest office buildings in Tulsa

In your first few months

• Step into an active venture, quickly understand product direction, and identify early design moves to reduce risk and test key assumptions.
• Bring a venture from rough to polished with screens you can stand behind in your portfolio.
• Own a new venture concept from the beginning, shaping workflow, product direction, prototype, and the first testable version.
• Create the early design system, flows, states, and specs engineers need to build quickly and consistently.
• Help run lightweight user tests or experiments with discovery and product strategy, turning early signal into prioritized design iterations.
