What you’ll do

Areas you could work on:

• Developer Workbench—Stripe’s next-generation developer dashboard

• The intersection of our new developer tooling and our existing surfaces, to help developers build better integrations, faster

• The future of developer tools at Stripe, including improvements to test mode, API upgrades, and new tools we haven’t even thought of yet

You will

• Design industry-leading developer tools that push the boundaries beyond what’s already on the market

• Make it easier for developers to build and test their integrations, as well as discover new Stripe products 

• Turn ambiguous problems that our developer users are facing into concrete products, from proposal, to kick-off, vision, building, and launch

• Shape the developer experience roadmap by prototyping and pitching new ideas we haven’t even thought of yet, and gaining cross-functional buy-in

• Work closely with our partner teams, including Apps, Docs, Connect, and more, to create a end-to-end developer experience that feels coherent

• Advocate for developer users internally, ensuring teams building developer-facing experiences are leveraging our tools and creating a surprisingly great developer experience

• Focus on what you do best—whether that’s sketches, wireframes, prototypes, designs, or code—you’ll have the opportunity to sharpen the skills you’re looking to develop

• Work in a highly collaborative fashion with the design, product, and project teams

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum Requirements

• Has 6+ years relevant design experience at a tech, product-driven company

• Has experience designing for developers, working on a developer tool, or developer documentation

• Has an understanding of developers, their needs, and an eagerness to learn about how we can best make their lives easier

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use, especially when explaining complicated developer experiences to non-technical stakeholders

• Understanding of the developer tooling landscape and what tools developers are using today—bonus points if you’ve used some of these tools yourself 

• Have a deep curiosity (or excitement) about the developer space, and aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty in some code

• Is skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and crave feedback to help you produce your best work

• Comfortable presenting work to senior stakeholders regularly

• Loves working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and have them help you learn and grow

• Is uncompromisingly service-minded towards our users and your colleagues, but able to set and achieve priorities that find the perfect balance between benefiting the project, the Design team, and all of Stripe

Hybrid work at Stripe

Our Chicago, Dublin, and Singapore teams spend at least 50% of their time in their local offices. We believe that more in-person interactions will contribute to better results for our employees and Stripe. Increased office time allows for improved collaboration, efficiency, and informal learning opportunities, fostering a stronger community and building our culture. We will apply the insights gained from these initial three locations to continue refining our hybrid approach.
