Staff Visual Designer, Design Systems

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 join our Design Systems team and work closely with our newly-formed Consumer team. This is a new role for Stripe and an opportunity to not only up-level 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:

• Up-level the overall fit and polish of Stripe’s products, especially consumer products and experiences 
• Partner with product designers to define and evolve our visual design
• Collaborate across design and engineering to align teams and educate on our design system’s best practices 
• Mentor junior designers
• Work side-by-side with product designers, engineers, writers, and other stakeholders from around the company to develop the tools and processes they need to build world-class user experiences.
• Write documentation and usage guidelines that teach designers and engineers how to use components and patterns across design and code.
• Evangelize creating delight through beautiful user interfaces across the team and the company

You will have:

• 7+ years of design experience, with an emphasis on visual design
• Plenty of experience contributing to a design system or even leading the creation of one
• An incredible portfolio 

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
