About the position
Full-Stack Builder for an AI-First Venture Studio. We’re not hiring a software engineer. We’re hiring a product engineer. Software engineers build systems, infrastructure, and elegant architectures - usually in service of someone else’s vision. Product engineers build things people actually use. They ask what should be built, not just how. They start with user problems, not technical specs. They know the code isn’t the product - the outcome is. Gitwit is a venture studio focused on building AI-native startups. Over the next 5 years, we’ll launch 15+ new companies from scratch, with a rigorous process of insight discovery, rapid prototyping, 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 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 and research teams to translate what users need (and wish existed) into products that feel sharp, useful, and inevitable.
