What the job involves
- Web Presence and Platform is organized into two pillars, each of which is grouped into pods that focus on the central tenets of Stripe's public mission
- The Presence pillar creates industry-leading designs for Stripe’s front door surfaces, educates customers about the power of our platform, and drives our business success
- The Platform pillar builds the internal machinery that powers these surfaces, and is responsible for making our websites fast, stable, and easy to modify
- Together we design and build stripe.com and other sites that amount to what is, for many, their first impression of Stripe
- As such, WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Stripe’s success
- We want to make every pixel count, we want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Stripes seamlessly benefit from our systematic work
- As a Designer focused on Growth and SEO within the Web Presence and Platform (WPP) team, you will enhance Stripe’s organic search presence and user engagement through strategic design and content creation
- Your role will blend creative and analytical skills, managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment to drive growth and engagement through innovative design solutions that captivate and convert users
- Design and optimize organic landing pages for stripe.com to improve search visibility and user engagement
- Design and develop interactive content tools (e.g., calculators, generators, templates) that provide utility to prospective businesses. Ensure the accuracy and reliability of these interactive tools, maintaining a high level of quality and attention to detail
- Create visually engaging and user-friendly designs that align with Stripe’s brand standards
- Collaborate with Product Marketing, Growth, and other cross-functional teams to understand user needs and behaviors, provide design solutions based on those insights, and to ensure the interactive content meets both business objectives and user needs
- Track and report on key performance indicators related to interactive content, providing insights to leadership on its impact on growth
- Create and refine design systems to optimize the website for SEO and growth
- Conduct and analyze A/B and multivariate tests from a design perspective, implementing improvements based on findings, and analyze results to iterate and improve interactive content
- Implement and manage a growth process that drives key business metrics such as conversions, customer acquisition, and user engagement across our web presence
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.
