Product Designer, Financial Services Business

Product Designer, Financial Services Business

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.

Designers working on Stripe’s financial services business are creating tools, products and services that extend Stripe beyond internet payments. Hardware and software for in-person payments, banking-as-a-service, card issuing and lending, company incorporation, to build businesses, marketplaces and platforms. 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.

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 with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for our products
• 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 our user research team and support ongoing research projects
• Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and company leadership

We’re looking for someone who:

• 4+ years relevant product design experience
• Experience building consumer products, where fit, finish, and delight are competitive advantages
• Comfortability executing with core product design skill sets: visual design, prototyping, interaction design, and information architecture
• Think in systems and are able to extrapolate and extend shared patterns and behaviors

Nice to haves:

• Can reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
• Are skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and crave feedback to help you produce your best work
• Care about details and are excited to keep pushing your work until is pixel-perfect
• 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

You might work on:

• Atlas — help entrepreneurs around the world start an internet business
• Capital — providing businesses access to fast, flexible financing
• Connect — tools to build platforms, marketplaces and emerging internet economies
• Climate — counteract climate change with Stripe’s carbon removal programs
• Issuing — create, manage, and distribute virtual and physical cards
• Treasury — tools and services for embedded finance
• Terminal — allowing businesses to accept payments in person

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
