Reaktor’s award-winning tech and design community is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Amsterdam office.
You understand how to sell creative work — grounding every choice in brand strategy, user insight, and business value.
If you enjoy turning strategic insights into elegant, effective design solutions — and thrive on crafting interactive experiences that blend form and function — you might be just who we’re looking for.
As a Senior Product Designer at Reaktor, you create visuals that make clients want to buy into your ideas. You’ll design thoughtful, intuitive, and impactful digital experiences that drive real-world outcomes for some of the most iconic retail brands. You’ll shape ideas, bring clarity to complex challenges, and collaborate closely with clients and cross-functional teams to turn strategy into standout execution.
At its core, Reaktor is a technology company that helps ambitious organizations become digital leaders. From premium software development to transformative retail journeys, our global community of experts does it all.
Your daily tasks include:
- Leading the design of product experiences across digital touchpoints, from strategy to final pixel
- Working side by side with developers, strategists, and product owners to co-create holistic solutions
- Conceptualizing and prototyping new features and flows to test, validate, and sell ideas
- Bringing a strong visual point of view — from brand systems and typography to motion and transitions
- Presenting creative directions clearly and persuasively to both clients and internal teams
- Participating in workshops and collaborative sessions to uncover insights and shape vision
- Maintaining a balance between high-level design leadership and hands-on execution
You love solving design problems with craft, logic, and collaboration.
To thrive in this position, you’ll need:
- 6–8+ years of experience in digital product design, preferably within fast-paced consultancy or client-facing environments
- The ability to think conceptually and strategically, connecting business goals to design decisions
- Confidence in selling your work through compelling storytelling and rationale
- Immaculate taste and a sharp eye for visual design across layout, typography, and UI systems
- Strong interaction design skills and a clear understanding of user flow logic and responsive behavior
- Fluency in modern design tools (e.g. Figma, Adobe Creative Suite) and familiarity with prototyping or motion tools
- Experience working in interdisciplinary teams with developers, strategists, and copywriters
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and proactively shaping briefs or concepts from scratch
- Curiosity, humility, and a constant appetite for learning and evolving your craft
- Fluent English language skills, with fluent Dutch being a nice-to-have but certainly not compulsory
Why join us?
For two decades, we’ve been developing qualities and capabilities for adapting, reacting, and supporting change – building Reaktor to hold up in a fast-paced environment while ensuring the well-being of our people.
While working at Reaktor, we’ll provide you with:
- The ability to impact how you work. Together with the client, your team chooses the approach, technologies, and methodologies you think will work best in any given situation
- A community with as much support as your heart desires
- A team that’s not only experienced but considerate as well – they all want you to succeed
- A sustainable work-life balance and support for your daily life outside of work. (e.g., free moving day, Reaktor car share, sick child care services, office space to use for your private events, etc.)
- An opportunity to grow as a professional. In addition to the day-to-day work, we offer internal training courses, community events, and 15-minute coffee breaks to discuss hot topics in tech and design
- A possibility to take part in more extended academy-like studies like Cloud Academy
- 300+ hobby clubs, from winter swimming and running to knitting and archery, that bring people together outside of (and sometimes inside) office hours. Many of these are supported by Reaktor

FAQ
01 What are we looking for?
We believe there’s more that matters than just the resume. We’re looking for an exciting overlap of curiosity, creativity, people skills, and experience: people who are willing to learn, participate, and share new perspectives.
02 What does the hiring process look like?
We take the time to learn about your skills and aspirations and help you learn about ours. Our interview process usually involves three or four conversations over the course of a few weeks. From application to closing, our process takes about four weeks. Your recruiter will keep you up to date on what to expect from each stage of our interviewing process.
03 What kinds of projects do you have?
We do a variety of different kinds of projects, with the aim of each being meaningful and critical to a client’s business. Our typical engagements are from 6 months to 18 months and involve between 3-6 Reaktorians collaborating closely with our clients. When it comes to picking and choosing, we look at a number of things from the business side. For example, we tend to be interested in the multi-functional growth potential of the project as well as the technological and digital maturity of the client, their product, and the project overall. However, not all good business is a good fit for us culturally. We only take on new business that aligns with our values, is interesting for our people to work on, and has a great local or global impact.
04 How do we staff projects?
The core idea behind how we staff is that you will never be alone in a project. When staffing our projects, we first start by going through your preferences and ambitions for learning, be it customer location, the field of business, or some particular technology. We then go through your learning and self-development targets and do our best to match all of the above to a project. We get multiple projects and new openings in existing projects each month. If there isn’t a perfect fit immediately, we try to find a spot for you in an existing project or take some time while you work on internal projects, or get deeper into onboarding.
05 What do people do in between projects?
Client work is our number one priority, but we’ve gotten pretty good at making the most out of the normal in-between time in the consulting business. Maybe you’ve just joined us, your project has just ended, or you’re rotating out of one and looking for new opportunities, it can sometimes take a while to find the next client project. These are great opportunities to take training, dive into a new topic, or help out with internal development. Your time in between projects does not affect your pay.
06 Is it ok to work remotely?
It depends on the project in question, as we choose the option that fits best with each client. Sometimes projects are multisite, at other times, there are more on-site visits, and on rather rare occasions, we are 100% remote. That said, we love to see each other every once in a while and spend time together at get-togethers and occasional in-person meetings.
