Role
Who you are
- 4+ years relevant design experience at a product-driven tech company
- Strong skills in visual design, interaction design, and prototyping demonstrated through a portfolio of work, spanning desktop and mobile surfaces
- Experience designing B2B and consumer products
- Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams
Desirable
- Strong independence and an ability to advocate for a larger design vision with cross-functional stakeholders
- Ability to reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
- Skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and crave feedback to help you produce your best work
What the job involves
- The Optimized Checkout Suite team gives merchants a set of 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
- You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and design partners to shape the future of our merchant of record product, a global selling solution for businesses of all sizes.
- You’ll simplify global selling for merchants, crossing the full lifecycle of payments: localized and conversion-optimized checkout, tax handling, disputes and fraud management, fulfillment, and customer support.
- You’ll design merchant experiences that minimize the time and effort required to use Stripe as a merchant of record and craft consumer experiences that are convenient and frictionless
- Develop a deep understanding of merchants and consumers to influence product direction
- Work with partner teams across Stripe to launch high-quality, user-facing product experiences
- Work closely with peer designers, product managers, and engineers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for upcoming and existing initiatives
- Design high-quality UIs that set the standard for what good design looks like at Stripe
- Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and team leadership
Our take
Stripe, nowadays a FinTech giant, spent the first few years since its founding building up its payments business, which primarily consisted of providing an API to eCommerce businesses so that they could easily integrate a payments option in their apps or websites, where before there was none.
More recently, Stripe has started to accelerate its growth with a significantly larger range of financial services including cash advances and credit cards. They also plan to build incorporation services, fraud protection, and more, diversifying its revenue away from payments and differentiating itself from its competitors.
To further expand its position, the company is looking to triple its presence in Ireland, and extend its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil and India. Its latest venture, coming atop significant new funds, is to partner with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that will monetize OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhance Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forwards with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."

Company values
- Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
- An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
- Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
- Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
