Product Designer, Connect

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.

As a part of the Connect design team, you'll lead product development for the largest complex users on Stripe—marketplaces such as Doordash and Lyft, and platforms such as Shopify and Woo. You'll drive the vision for how these marketplaces and platforms manage payments and risk for their business and their users in the US and internationally. You'll work with other designers on the team to define the future of the experience for all Connect users on the dashboard.

This role is a strong fit for a designer who is energized by complexity, motivated by impact, and excited to turn difficult systems into simple, intuitive experiences.

What you’ll do

In this role, you will be responsible for deeply understanding our users and product strategy to design and advocate for the highest quality product experience. You’ll utilize a broad set of product design skills including user interface design, user experience and interaction design, and prototyping.

• Work closely with other product designers to drive holistic solutions for our marketplaces and platforms and their users
