What the job involves
- We’re looking for an experienced Staff Product Designer (UI) to own Stream’s visual language across every touchpoint—website, dashboard, and product demos (chat, video, feeds)

- This role offers significant autonomy and impact: you’ll be shaping the UI of tools used by a global developer community and some of the most exciting apps on the market
- Highly proficient in using Figma, applying structure and using modern features
- Partner with our Staff Product Designer-UX and translate UX into a coherent, world-class interface
- Audit the existing design, set the north star, and close gaps across all parts -website, dashboard, and product demos (chat, video, feeds)
- Elevate our demos so they reflect Stream’s real product capabilities
- UI Boilerplates: Create ready-to-use UI kits and example layouts that help teams and customers build faster
- Launch-Ready Details: Own pixels and polish at ship time—states, motion, micro-copy, and accessibility

- 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
Our take
Every day, people all over the world communicate via in-app chats. However, chat and UX tools can take months to build and years to perfect. Stream solves this problem by allowing developers to build chat and activity streams into apps quickly and without hassle.
Having started out building APIs for activity feeds, Stream quickly moved into the lucrative chat market. Its customers now include household names such as Unilever, NBC Sports, and TaskRabbit, and it has seen funding from both big-name firms and startup CEOs - a clear indication of the company's broad appeal.
The company has lately been focussed on further developing its in-house technology, in order to fuel its continued growth in the coming years. It continues to enrich its Activity Feed, Chat SDK and 2022-released AI-based Moderation products, as well as developing Live Video capabilities, which it states clients have been interested in for some time.
