Stream•Boulder, CO

5d•$72,000 - $90,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Stream is looking to expand the Developer Experience team in our Boulder office (full-time, 3 days/week in-office). In this hands-on role, you’ll obsess over the end-to-end developer experience across Stream’s products — testing real-world flows, surfacing friction on user flows, and making Stream easier and more delightful for developers to use. This position offers excellent growth potential, close mentorship from senior product leaders, and the opportunity to take ownership of a role in an exciting marketplace. About You You’re an early-career software engineer who cares deeply about usability, clarity, and polish. You have strong knowledge of at least one of the following: React/JavaScript/TypeScript, Android (Kotlin), iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), Flutter, or React Native. You’re meticulous about analyzing multi-step flows and documenting them clearly and accurately. You’re curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning by doing. You’ll use your technical knowledge of APIs and SDKs to learn the Stream products and services inside-out. You will use your technical communication skills to clearly document issues, write tutorials, and help validate improvements alongside engineering, product, and design teams. Being organized and motivated is key to this role. You’ll be expected to manage your own time effectively to contribute to projects and initiatives across departments. As our customer communication and internal correspondence are in English, you’ll be required to be fluent in English and have excellent written and verbal communication skills. The ideal candidate is predisposed to enjoy improving the developer journey and thrives when digging into details. You’ll work directly with engineering, product, design, and marketing teams as a technical reference and be the “first developer” on new DX work — surfacing confusion, bugs, and rough edges early.
