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 made up of several groups that define, create, and deliver all user-facing aspects of Stripe’s brand and product. Product Designers are strategic partners to Engineering and Product Management within their product area. In close collaboration with product teams, they shape user experiences, then translate them into high-quality designs that can be tested, shipped, and refined. Designers are responsible for building elegant, functional products that users love—and want to tell others about.

The Optimized Checkout Suite team gives merchants prebuilt checkout surfaces that are optimized for conversion and scale as merchants expand to new geographies, customer segments, and business models. The sheer volume of payments that flow through our checkout surfaces on an hourly basis necessitates the highest level of craft and reliability, which means that checkout product designers have the chance to create and ship the best work of their careers.

What you’ll do

You will be the design lead for the Optimized Checkout Suite’s Dashboard presence. Your immediate focus will be a new product experience in Stripe’s Dashboard that enables merchants to optimize high-performing checkout flows with little to no coding. You will also be a leader in defining AI-driven workflows and designing the merchant experience for important revenue drivers for Stripe.
