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 Stripe’s 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
In this role, you’ll design experiences that help businesses start and grow successfully on Stripe. You’ll 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
