Product Designer, Payments

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.

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

• Build high polish consumer experiences within and adjacent to Stripe Checkout, a prebuilt payment form optimized for conversion

• Work closely with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for our growing product suite
• Partner 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 across Stripe
• 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
