A little about us…
Knit is an AI-native consumer research platform helping brands automate and accelerate primary research. With our Researcher-Driven AI, we’ve condensed the entire quant + qual research process from weeks into days (sometimes hours!) for 50+ leading enterprise brands — including Amazon, Mars, Adobe, NASCAR, JBL, and the WNBA.
We’re on a mission to scale and democratize world-class research. From survey generation to stakeholder-ready reports, our platform is redefining how insights teams operate — and we need your help to push the limits of what’s possible.
Overview | Your Mission
You’ll play a foundational role on initiatives that drive end-to-end automation of the Knit platform, while collaborating closely with our other distributed product, engineering and AI teams. We’re not just shipping features — we’re building the future of how companies understand people.
You’ll be the bridge between user needs, business goals, and technical execution. Working closely with Design, Engineering, and AI teams, you’ll turn ideas into reality — from roadmap definition to go-to-market.
