Who we are

Design at Stripe

We believe there are too many barriers to doing business on the internet, and that opportunities are not equally distributed throughout the world. We also think building and growing a business online is a problem rooted in code, language, and design—not finance.

Stripe’s mission is to increase the GDP of the internet and expand economic access globally. We’re designing tools and infrastructure to help our users start, run, and scale an online business from anywhere in the world. That’s where you come in: we’re looking for a diverse set of designers of many disciplines, skills, backgrounds, and specialties to join our growing Design team.

The design team works across most projects at Stripe—from our brand voice and websites to events, web and mobile products, and even printed publications. And since Stripe’s main audience is other people who build products, we agonize over and take pride in crafting user-friendly and user-focused experiences.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

You will:

• Specialize in one of our core product areas and work closely with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for that product
• Work closely with designers on your team to develop and expand product design systems
• Sometimes work on very broadly defined, loose concepts, and sometimes on narrowly defined, tactical deliverables
• Focus on what you do best — whether that’s sketches, wireframes, prototypes, designs, or code—and you’ll have the opportunity to sharpen the skills you’re looking to develop
• Work in a highly collaborative fashion with the design, product, and project teams
• Partner closely with user researchers, content designers, brand designers, and other disciplines.
• Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and company leadership

We’re looking for someone who: 

• Can reduce complex challenges down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
• Has experience designing for both business and consumer-focused products
• Has a high quality bar, attention to detail, and helps teams deliver high quality polished experiences.
• Is skilled in explaining their work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and who craves feedback to help produce the best work
• Is an expert in either UI, UX, or visual design, but is skilled in more disciplines across product design
• Thinks in systems and is able to extrapolate and extend shared patterns and behaviors
• Has 4+ years relevant product design experience 

We’re looking for someone who: 

• Is uncompromisingly service-minded towards our users and your colleagues, but able to set and achieve priorities that find the perfect balance between benefiting the project, the Design team, and all of Stripe
• Comfortable working autonomously through ambiguity, taking ownership of identifying problems and creating solutions
• Love working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and have them help you learn and grow

You might work on: 

• Financial Connections — Help people connect their bank account, to make payments, receive payments, or share data.
• Link — Help people safely checkout faster, by saving and reusing their payment and shipping information.

You should include these in your application: 

• A link to your online portfolio
• Your CV or LinkedIn profile
• A few words about why Stripe is interesting to you
