About the team

The Product Design team defines and delivers user-facing experiences across Stripe. Product Designers work closely with engineers, product managers, researchers, strategists, operations, data scientists, and marketers to shape products from early strategy through launch and iteration. You'll be joining the Risk team, which shapes how businesses get started on Stripe, build trust, stay compliant, and grow with confidence. The work spans businesses of every size and helps keep both our users and the Stripe ecosystem safe. Risk is a high-impact design space where the problems are both strategic and complex. As a designer on the team, you'll help bring clarity to critical user moments, reduce friction for legitimate businesses, and raise the craft bar where trust, ease, and confidence matter most.

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

• Design experiences that help businesses start and grow successfully on Stripe.
• Work closely with cross‑functional partners to define problems, shape direction, and ship high‑quality experiences.

Responsibilities

• Translate complex systems, policies, and operational constraints into clear, thoughtful product experiences.
• Identify high‑leverage opportunities that improve coherence across journeys, touchpoints, and surfaces.
• Partner closely with PMs, engineers, researchers, operations, and strategists to shape product direction and drive user and business outcomes.
• Develop both long‑term strategy and pragmatic short‑term solutions.
• Design, prototype, and communicate ideas with creative storytelling and demos.
• Use qualitative and quantitative signals to inform decisions and evaluate impact.
• Raise the craft bar in a domain where quality and trust matter deeply.
• Work closely with engineering to ensure a high bar for craft and implementation quality.
• Contribute to shared patterns and systems that help the broader Risk organization build with coherence.

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.

• 10+ years of relevant product design experience at a product‑driven technology company.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating excellent craft, systems thinking, and end‑to‑end design, including a strong understanding of AI tools.
• Experience working on complex product areas with multiple stakeholders, constraints, and interconnected workflows.
• Strong product thinking and the ability to shape direction, not just execute against requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype and design across multiple touchpoints and surfaces.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence through clear design rationale and artifacts.

Preferred qualifications

• Think in systems and design solutions that scale across users, workflows, and surfaces.
• Have strong product judgment and influence beyond the UI.
• Care deeply about quality from concept through implementation.
• Move fluidly between big‑picture thinking and interaction‑level craft.
• Are energized by ambiguous, strategic problem spaces—not just well‑defined execution.
• Are comfortable operating in fast‑moving environments where priorities may shift in response to policy, operational, or regulatory needs.

This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in‑person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
