Stripe, Chicago, IL, United States


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 is why 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‑face aspects of Stripe’s products. Product Designers work directly with Engineers, Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Marketers, as strategic partners, in each 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. What you’ll do You will work closely with a specific part of the business, leading the end‑to‑end work, collaborating closely with other designers to set a high bar for craft and quality experience. Each of our roles is a mix of product strategy, new and existing feature development, and an opportunity to understand the needs of various user segments to design and build solutions that will help more people get started and run their businesses successfully on Stripe. Responsibilities Deliver high‑quality, user‑centered designs that evolve core surfaces and elevate the overall user experience. Design, prototype, and test thoughtful, intuitive experiences that make complicated flows feel simple and clear. Collaborate with designers, PMs, and engineers to define both long‑term strategy and near‑term tactics. Craft high‑quality UIs that set the bar for design excellence at Stripe. Share work regularly in design reviews and actively contribute to a strong culture of feedback and iteration. Collaborate with UX Research to inform and validate design decisions.
