Your role at Kittl

You will own design and product outcomes across one of Kittl's core surfaces (AI or Editor), 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

Interview process

• Recruiter interview (30 min)

• Portfolio review with Head of Product Design (60 min)

• Live design exercise with Head of Product Design & Senior Product Designer (90 min)

• Leadership interview with Co-founder & CPO (45 min)

Benefits

• Hackathons: Our quarterly hackathons provide an environment to experiment with new concepts, push boundaries, and potentially deliver the next big thing.

• Kittl Week: Each year, our global team gathers together for a whole week, to work, celebrate, get inspired, and have fun
