Product Designer, Internal Tools

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.

We are looking for a highly visual product designer to work closely with our newly-formed Consumer team. This is a new role for Stripe and an opportunity to not only uplevel our already exceedingly high standards for visual design, but also define what a visual designer does at Stripe and pave the way for this new discipline. 

You will:

• Work closely with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for our internal tools
• 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
• Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and company leadership
• Understand the array of technical constraints, user goals, and business requirements that shape a product
• Structure and facilitate ideation workshops for an emerging product category

You will have:

• Have an exceptional portfolio demonstrating strong product and visual design sensibilities and experience in creating concepts, customer journeys, specifying interaction details, and prototyping internally and with users
• Can reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
• Are an expert in either UI, UX, or visual design, but skilled in more disciplines across product design
• Are skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and crave feedback to help you produce your best work
• Think in systems and are able to extrapolate and extend shared patterns and behaviors
• You care about details and are excited to keep pushing your work until it is pixel-perfect
• Have 4+ years relevant design experience at a tech, product-driven company

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
