Your role at Kittl
You will own design and product outcomes across one of Kittl's core surfaces, shaping the experiences that turn first-time consumer and prosumer users into repeat creators. Reporting to the Head of Product Design, you'll operate as a direct peer to PM and Engineering, bringing user evidence, strategic thinking, and a strong point of view to product decisions. You'll own the second half of product management: translating strategy into requirements, managing project timelines, coordinating with engineering, and driving features from concept to launch. Your work will directly influence activation, retention, and the quality of the AI-assisted creation experience millions of creators depend on.
What you'll do
Own product outcomes end-to-end: Take full ownership from problem framing and research through shipping, measurement, and iteration
Lead design of complex features: Design sophisticated product features with high visual craft and strategic product thinking
Raise the craft bar: Hold a high quality standard in visual and interaction design, elevating it through critique and pairing with peers
Manage the build: Coordinate with engineering, ensure quality throughout development, and own go-to-market readiness
Build reusable patterns: Contribute to Kittl's evolving design process, designing system and emerging AI patterns
What you'll need
Experience: Minimum 6 years designing digital products, with at least 2 years shipping consumer or prosumer products at scale
Portfolio: Strong portfolio showing end-to-end ownership including research, interaction design, visual craft, product thinking, and measurable impact of shipped work
Product ownership readiness: Demonstrated ability or clear readiness to step into product management responsibilities - managing timelines, coordinating stakeholders
AI design experience: Hands-on experience designing for AI-driven or generative product surfaces, with focus on embedding AI for genuine user value
Principled decision-making: Balances user needs, product constraints, and strategic direction to find the best feasible path forward through thoughtful compromise and clear decision-making
Bias for action: High quality bar combined with speed, comfort with ambiguity, and willingness to step beyond pure design into product ownership and execution
