Staff Product Designer

Do you thrive at the intersection of product design and developer experience? Are you ready to make a significant impact on a fast-growing SaaS company trusted by developers worldwide? We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to own and elevate the design of everything we build—SDKs, dashboards, moderation tools, our website, and more.

This is your opportunity to do your best work in a role that values craftsmanship, autonomy, and impact. At Stream, we design tools that developers love to use, creating industry-defining chat messaging, activity feed, and audio/video solutions that power some of the most exciting apps on the market.

You’ll be based in our Amsterdam HQ, with flexibility for hybrid work, equipped with top-of-the-line gear (maxed-out MacBook Pro + Apple Studio Display) to ensure you have what you need to thrive.

Why design at Stream?

At Stream, design is central to how we deliver value. We take a hands-on, collaborative approach: designers and engineers working together to ship solutions that solve real problems. Our customers are developers, and we obsess over making their lives easier.

Designing at Stream means being part of a small, talented team where you have autonomy and agency to drive impactful projects. You won’t be bogged down by bureaucracy or disconnected processes. Instead, you’ll focus on building tools that embody best practices out of the box—tools that developers rely on to build the future of digital interaction.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end design process: from research and strategy to execution and iteration, ensuring every solution meets the needs of our customers.

• Work directly with engineers to design and ship SDKs, moderation tools, onboarding flows, and other customer-facing features.

• Shape how developers experience Stream, from creating seamless dashboards to designing for our public-facing website.

• Write clear, concise UX copy that guides and empowers users.

• Collaborate with your team to push boundaries and raise the bar for what great design means at Stream.

What We’re Looking For

• Excellence across design operations: visual design, systems thinking, research and UX copy.

• A deep understanding of developer workflows and motivates them.

• A bias for action: you have a knack for shipping high-quality work quickly, balancing urgency with attention to detail manifesting in simplicity.

• A collaborative mindset: you thrive in feedback-rich environments and iterate confidently

• Passion for creative solutions that empower developers and designers to make implementing our solutions feel simple

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Direct impact in shaping the future of developer tools used by companies building with Stream

• Small, high-trust team with fewer roadblocks, tremendous autonomy and a chance to see your ideas make a material impact on the growth of the business

• You’ll solve meaningful problems for a technical audience that values elegant solutions

• You’ll get access to the tools you need to be successful

• Travel to Boulder for regular collaboration

Why join Stream?

• History of success. From Amsterdam to Boulder and Techstars in-between, Stream has raised over $58.25M to build the best Chat Messaging & Activity Feed infrastructure available, with best-in-class support.

• Freedom and endless growth opportunities. As a rapidly growing startup (since 2020 we have gone from 30 to 150 employees), Stream gives you unique personal and professional growth opportunities. The opportunity of true ownership and accountability has a massive impact on your career. These are the things you can rarely experience in huge corporations.

• Be on the front line of progress and innovation. While working with cutting-edge technology, we are passionate about tackling difficult tech problems at scale and creating reusable components for them, empowering engineering teams to ship apps faster, more securely, and with a better user experience.

• They believe in us: Stream is backed by leading VC companies (Felicis Ventures, GGV Capital, 01.Advisors, Techstars, Arthur Ventures), including backers like Dick Costolo (01 Advisors, ex-CEO of Twitter), Olivier Pomel (CEO of Datadog), Tom Preston-Werner (Co-Founder of GitHub), Nicolas Dessaigne (Co-Founder of Algolia), Johnny Boufarhat (Founder and CEO of Hopin).
