Who we are
About Stripe
Company context from the listing:
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.
About the team
Company context from the listing:
Web Presence & Platform (WPP) is organized into two pillars—Platform and Presence. The Platform pillar builds internal systems, tooling, and infrastructure to support the web.
Designers on the Presence team work at the intersection of craft and impact—balancing clarity, polish, and systems thinking with strategic storytelling and experimentation. We collaborate closely with engineering, marketing, content, and product to deliver work that is not only beautiful, but measurably moves the business.
What you'll do
Day-to-day scope for the Designer, Web Presence & Platform as described in the posting:
As a Designer on the Presence team, you'll own design across two distinct and high-visibility surface areas—Link (the Stripe one-click checkout experience and link.com) and Bridge (bridge.xyz—the Stripe stablecoin financial infrastructure, operating as its own standalone web property). These are some of the most strategically varied and creatively demanding surfaces in our portfolio—each with its own audience, brand voice, and design challenge.
You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy—driving work from brief to launch, navigating ambiguity with confidence, and setting the quality bar for your focus areas. You'll shape the design systems and storytelling frameworks that make these surfaces scale, and you'll build deep expertise that makes you a go-to partner for the cross-functional teams you work alongside.
Responsibilities
Day-to-day scope for the Designer, Web Presence & Platform as described in the posting:
- Own the end-to-end design of your focus areas, Link and Bridge, from early strategy through final delivery, with minimal oversight
- Drive clarity in ambiguous or loosely defined briefs by synthesizing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into a coherent point of view
- Lead cross-functional collaboration with engineering, PMM, content design, brand, and product—facilitating alignment, integrating feedback, and keeping projects moving
- Partner deeply with engineering throughout the design process, from exploring technical possibilities and constraints early, to co-creating solutions at the intersection of craft and code, and ensuring design intent carries through to final implementation
- Develop and advance design systems, patterns, and components specific to your surfaces, ensuring they are extensible and maintainable at scale
- Apply and evolve visual and interaction standards that uphold the quality bar across diverse surface types—from immersive event experiences to conversion-focused product pages
- Use research insights, user testing, and performance data to ground your decisions and advocate for the user across partner conversations
- Actively contribute to team quality, sharing your expertise, setting an example in critique, and helping raise the standard of work across the Presence team

- Proven ability to own projects end-to-end and deep fluency in layout, typography, color, motion, and interaction
- Comfort navigating ambiguity: you can generate a clear plan from a loose brief and bring partners along with you
- Strong communication skills: you articulate your thinking clearly, manage expectations proactively, and reduce confusion rather than add to it

- Experience owning or contributing to design across multiple distinct web properties or brand identities simultaneously
- A track record of advancing shared design patterns, systems, or tooling—not just using them
How we work
How the team describes its culture:
We care deeply about craft—but also about moving with urgency and focus. We seek feedback early and often, because we believe design gets stronger through collaboration and iteration.
We value curiosity, directness, and resilience. You'll do well here if you thrive in ownership, bring strong intuition without losing sight of the data, and are energized by complex problems that require both strategic clarity and exceptional craft.
