Here's something of what awaits you

🧩

The chance to build something

You won’t be handed a finished product. You’ll be part of shaping it from the ground up, with space to think, explore, and define the product experience before it’s locked in.

🤩

Work close with founders who actually care about design

You’ll collaborate closely with visionary founders who’ve held the product idea in their heads since day one. Your role is to help shape it into something others can build, use and believe in, through trust, dialogue, and strong design thinking.

🎛️

Interaction design for physical products

This isn’t just UI. You’ll be working with real materials, screens, buttons, gestures, and behaviors, exploring the full spectrum of interaction.

✏️

Space to experiment, prototype, and think with your hands

We value messy sketches, illustrations, quick models, cardboard, whatever works. This is a place for tactile thinking and not just Figma. That “conceptual sketch” muscle? It matters here.

Hear from our founders

We hope our platform will bridge the gap between old and new energy systems, making it modular, scalable, and easier for people to invest in solar panels, batteries, and EV chargers. This is the beginning of a more digitised energy system, built for the 21st century.

Co-founder & CEO

If you seek comfort or routine, then Starflow is not the place for you. But if you are driven by passion and the desire to shape something greater than yourself, then we might be the perfect fit.

Your mission

As our Senior Designer, you’ll lead the creation of Starflow’s overall product experience - fusing hardware, software, interaction, and emotion into one seamless whole.

This role goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about defining the big idea behind the product, shaping how it should feel and work, and turning that into something others can build from, align around, and fall in love with.

Shape the core product concept

Work side-by-side with the founders to shape the overall product experience, from initial vision to a structured, shared concept that defines what the product truly is. You’ll help connect the dots, ask the hard questions, and give form to a product direction that others can understand and build from.

Bridge hardware and software into one seamless experience

Create interaction models that bring screens, buttons, gestures, and physical behaviors together into one fluid, intuitive experience, both for homeowners and installers.

Visualize ideas in ways that create alignment

Bring product ideas to life through sketches, mockups, and storytelling, making abstract thinking visual, actionable, alignable, and easy to contribute to across disciplines.

Design physical interactions that feel natural

Create principles for how people touch, install, and interact with the product, ensuring the experience feels intuitive, thoughtful, and uniquely Starflow.

Work with engineers to bring great ideas to life

Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and manufacturing to make sure your concepts not only look beautiful, but can be built, scaled, and used in real life.

Define how design is done at Starflow

Define the design philosophy, mindset, and methods that guide how Starflow designs products, laying the groundwork for scalable design practices and culture.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a thinker and a doer. Someone who knows how to shape a big idea, but also how to break it down into flows, sketches, principles, and prototypes that move the team forward.

You don’t need to have “Senior Designer” as a title on your CV - but you do need to be someone who thinks holistically, works systemically, and feels at home where hardware meets software.

Here are three traits we believe matter most in this role:

You know how to design across hardware and software

You’ve worked on products where screens, enclosures, buttons, and flows all had to feel like one system, not separate parts. You understand how the physical and digital influence each other, and you’re used to collaborating with engineers or industrial designers to get that integration right.

You turn fuzzy ideas into clear direction

You’re often the one sketching things out when the brief is still blurry. You use flows, mockups, storytelling, and whatever medium works to get early alignment, and you’re comfortable showing work before it’s polished.

You move between vision and execution

You can see the whole and bigger picture and imagine where the product should go. But you also know how to work toward that in small, concrete steps. You’re not afraid to build partial prototypes, define principles mid-flight, or adapt as things evolve.

Power and Energy

Software Development

Electronics

Picture a world where your energy system anticipates your needs, seamlessly integrates with solar panels, batteries, and other systems, and even lets you share excess energy with your neighbors. A world where energy works for you - intelligently, effortlessly, and without limitations.

That’s the future we’re building at Starflow, a future we call Energy Perfection. We’re developing a new generation of energy products that transforms how energy flows - empowering people to save money, live sustainably, and break free from the limitations of the grid.

The Energy Hub

The Energy Hub is the centerpiece of our mission to revolutionize energy management. It’s a smart, modular platform designed to seamlessly integrate solar panels, EV chargers, batteries, and home energy systems into one unified solution. Built to be flexible and scalable, the Energy Hub will optimizes energy flow, and give users greater control over how they produce, store, and consume energy.

And this is just the beginning - our platform will be designed to evolve with future technologies, making it a key player in the future of energy management.

Life @ Starflow

Joining Starflow at this stage is a unique opportunity. You’ll experience personal growth, exciting challenges, and the chance to make a real impact.

But make no mistake, this journey isn’t for everyone. We’re an ambitious team on a bold mission, which means that the path ahead will be demanding, unpredictable, and full of challenges.

To give you a deeper understanding of our culture, you’ll receive a DNA report during the recruitment process - outlining our values, ways of working, and what it really means to be part of Starflow.

🚀

We live by the values of boldness, integrity, truth-seeking and kindness.

We take calculated risks, push boundaries and meet challenges head on. That's why we need people who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo and think different.

You'll be encouraged to think outside the box, but also to take ownership of your work and be accountable for both successes and failures.

🤝

No lone wolfes here

We believe that no one is more important than the team, and that the best solutions come from different perspectives, feedback, and open communication.

There's no room for ego here - only a shared passion for building something extraordinary.

💡

Where freedom meets accountability

We cherish freedom and autonomi, but we also understand that freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility and consequences.

We know when to lead and make decisions independently, and when to follow guidance and instructions from others.
