  • Value working with a diverse group of people with different perspectives and expertise
  • Love working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and have them help you learn and grow
  • Are committed to building a sustainable and scalable business by balancing merchant needs, user needs, and business needs

What the job involves

  • The Product Design team is composed of several teams that work together to help define, create, and deliver all user-facing aspects of the Stripe brand and product
  • Product Designers are strategic partners to Engineering and Product Management within a dedicated product area
  • In partnership with the product team, they help define the user-facing experiences our users encounter on Stripe products, then translate that thinking into a complete experience that can be tested, shipped, and refined
  • They are responsible for creating well-functioning and beautiful products and experiences that users love and are eager to recommend to others
  • As part of the Money Movement & Storage (MMS) Design team, you will help Stripe build the world’s best GPTN (global payments and treasury network)
  • You’ll collaborate with other designers, content designers, and user researchers working on new and existing products that help users do more with their money on Stripe
  • You’ll partner with product and engineering to craft high quality experiences for merchants in the Stripe dashboard and for their customers, contractors, and vendors who interact with Stripe
  • You’ll utilize a broad set of product design skills including user interface design, user experience/interaction design, and prototyping
  • In this role, you will be responsible for deeply understanding our users and product strategy to design and advocate for the highest quality product experience
  • Work with product and engineering to design and execute new features
  • Ship meaningful, high quality product improvements
  • Work with user research, engineering, and product design to understand users and address their needs
  • Leverage insights from our UXR team to identify opportunity areas, and to validate potential solutions to pain points
  • Partner with content design to craft compelling experiences that deliver the right information at the right time to the right user
  • Deliver from your strengths — whether that’s workshops, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, final comps and specs, or code—and have the opportunity to sharpen the skills you’re looking to develop
  • Work closely with other product designers to drive holistic solutions for our merchants and their users
  • Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and company leadership

Our take

Stripe, nowadays a FinTech giant, spent the first few years since its founding building up its payments business, which primarily consisted of providing an API to eCommerce businesses so that they could easily integrate a payments option in their apps or websites, where before there was none.

More recently, Stripe has started to accelerate its growth with a significantly larger range of financial services including cash advances and credit cards. They also plan to build incorporation services, fraud protection, and more, diversifying its revenue away from payments and differentiating itself from its competitors.

To further expand its position, the company is looking to triple its presence in Ireland, and extend its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil and India. Its latest venture, coming atop significant new funds, is to partner with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that will monetize OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhance Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forwards with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."

Company values

  • Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
  • An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
  • Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
  • Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
