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

Web Presence and Platform is organized into two pillars, each of which is grouped into pods that focus on the central tenets of Stripe's public mission. The Presence pillar creates industry-leading designs for Stripe’s front door surfaces, educating customers about the power of our platform, sharing Stripe’s ideas and expertise with the public, and driving adoption. The Platform pillar builds the internal machinery that powers these surfaces, and is responsible for making our websites fast, stable, and easy to update.

Together we design and build stripe.com and other sites that amount to what is, for many, their first impression of Stripe. As such, WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Stripe’s success. We want to make every pixel count, we want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Stripes seamlessly benefit from our systematic work.

What you’ll do

As a Design Engineer you will concept, prototype, and build new experiences for our web presence. You’ll bring your creativity and expertise to the full range of the Stripe brand, across evergreen pages as well as time-based campaigns. You’ll both utilize and contribute to our libraries and design systems, and when appropriate work outside established systems to create new digital moments. You’ll constantly have in-browser performance in mind, and create abstractions that other designers and engineers consume and build upon.

All Design Engineers in WPP have a shared commitment to user experience and craft, but each pod has subtly different focus areas. The Collective pod leverages design, animation, and interaction to drive awareness, educate prospective users, and share Stripe’s expertise across public surfaces such as Stripe.com, Stripe Sessions, Stripe Press, and Link. The Expansion pod brings the same creativity and executional rigor to attracting new prospects and driving conversion, focusing on user journeys, interactive and highly polished tools for users, and building targeted experiences for our global users.

As a Design Engineer on the Collective pod with a particular focus on Events, you will help us drive our flagship Sessions event, from promotion and registration to extending the impact of Sessions beyond the in-person event. You will also build experiences to expand our Stripe Tour events and bring Stripe’s expertise to a broader audience. You’ll also collaborate with the broader team to support our other surfaces and missions based on the team’s needs, bringing your meticulous execution to a wide range of experiences.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with our team’s designers to prototype and implement web animations and interaction-heavy sites and experiences
• Work closely with other design engineers, pairing, mentoring, and continually building a culture of excellence
• Design and build entire web experiences, including campaigns, event promotions, standalone microsites, and sections of our core sites
• Concept and prototype UX components and motion studies
• Comfortably operate within established design systems as well as creating new experiences outside of systems
• Build high-performance web pages

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

• 3+ years of relevant web front-end development or creative technology experience at a tech-forward, product-driven company
• ​​Advanced knowledge of modern HTML and CSS
• Experience writing clear, elegant code in a team environment
• A zeal for the web as a storytelling medium, demonstrable through a portfolio of design work and frontend code showcasing design systems, engaging microsites, Figma plugins, webGL experiments, CSS art, or anything else—you tell us
• Experience designing and building public facing websites that work elegantly across commonly used browsers and devices

Preferred qualifications

• A good understanding of the formal elements of design, not just limited to the web and including typography, layout, balance, and proportion
• Experience with campaigns, events, or registration platforms

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $127,400 - $191,100. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
