Product Designer, Internal Tools

Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

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.

What you’ll do

Areas you could work on

• Home, a tool Stripes rely on for company updates, finding people, teams, and important docs.
• StripeOS, our set of custom tools for getting things done. We have our very own project management tool, Compass, which is integral to how we work and powers collaboration across all of Stripe.
• Any number of Stripe’s many other custom internal tools.

Responsibilities

• Create high-quality designs for the way Stripes get things done together by understanding the way we work, and how we ship to our users
• Help us design the best project management tooling for Stripe—setting the bar for our internal tool as high as the best products out there today 
• Work across both the Collaboration Tools team and the many teams that rely on our tools to get work done to understand what they need most
• Develop strong opinions about the way we work together at Stripe and feel confident pitching those ideas
• Help influence the StripeOS roadmap by prototyping and pitching new ideas we haven’t even thought of yet, and gaining cross-functional buy-in
• Focus on what you do best—whether that’s sketches, wireframes, prototypes, designs, or code—you’ll have the opportunity to sharpen the skills you’re looking to develop
• Work in a highly collaborative fashion with the design, product,  engineering, and project teams
• Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with design and company leadership
