Who We Are

Clearstream is a communication and engagement platform serving more than 9,000 churches and non-profits. Our core products are texting and email. You can learn more about our company, culture, and values at Clearstream and on our Our Story page.

We are a small, detail-oriented, tight-knit team with a high standard for the work we ship. This role will be an important part of that.

Our team works four days per week (36 hours), which means a three-day weekend every week. 🎉

The role

We are looking for a

Product Designer

with exceptional taste, strong product thinking, and a genuine care for the church. You will be the sole designer on our team and will work closely with our Director of Engineering and the rest of the product team.

You will own and evolve the design of our web and mobile apps as we ship new features and improve existing ones. This role requires someone who cares deeply about design quality, usability, consistency, and craft.

You should be excited to build a deep understanding of our product, our customers, our integration partners, and the church and non-profit technology space. Your work will include wireframing, interaction design, visual design, design systems, and thoughtful iteration on existing product experiences.

Requirements

What we're looking for

We are looking for someone who is both creative and highly logical. You should be able to design something beautiful, but also know what should be included, why it matters, and how it should work.

You likely have experience designing modern web and mobile product experiences, especially in B2B SaaS. We admire products like Linear, Typeform, Intercom, Slack, OpenPhone, and Notion—software with clear, modern interfaces that solve real problems in simple, intuitive ways.

You may be a fit if you have:

• Strong design and UX instincts. You create work that is useful, clear, refined, and beautiful. You care about hierarchy, spacing, typography, transitions, states, dark mode, and the small details that make a product feel coherent and high quality
• Excellent product thinking. You can quickly understand a product, its users, and the problems it solves. You ask good questions, think through edge cases, and design with the whole system in mind
• High proficiency in Figma or Paper. You are comfortable with components, variables, and keeping design files organized and maintainable. You can work efficiently and communicate clearly through your files
• A strong understanding of the frontend handoff process. Our frontend stack includes Vue 3, Tailwind, and TypeScript. You do not need to be an engineer, but you should understand how digital products are built and design accordingly—including transitions, empty states, responsiveness, and edge cases
• Comfort across web and mobile. You can maintain consistency across our web app, mobile apps, and broader brand experience
• A real desire to serve the local church. That's our whole mission at Clearstream
• Working hours: Our team works across a few timezones. We're flexible with scheduling, but your schedule must have at least a six-hour overlap with 7:00a-4:00p ET

What success looks like in this role

• You've taken ownership of our design system and provided excellent recommendations on how to improve it
• You're regularly designing new web and mobile features
• You've found design issues, inconsistencies, or edge cases while reviewing product work and pull requests
• You've beaten someone on the product team at GeoGuessr.
