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.

About the team

The Product Design team is composed of several teams that work together to help define, create, and deliver all user-facing aspects of the Stripe brand and product.

Developer AI is an experimental team rethinking Stripe’s developer experience for the AI era. We are using the latest LLMs and AI engineering techniques to help developers streamline and automate the building and maintaining of their Stripe integrations

Some areas we’re currently working on:

Automating the zero to one integration experience for developers building on Stripe’s APIs
Bringing Stripe knowledge (docs, reference, support, etc) to developer fingertips, wherever they are working
Reducing the pain of API migrations and upgrades
Exploring new, boundary-pushing ways AI can improve the overall Developer Experience

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an experienced designer to help us design the future of AI for developers. In the Developer AI team, you will shape Stripe's developer experience and evolve it through the lens of AI and our company-wide AI strategy, impacting how AI tools interact with payments at scale.

Responsibilities

Design and build innovative new developer tools and experiences from the ground up, powered by AI
Understand the AI industry and how it’s evolving, then apply that to design AI experiences for developers from the ground up
Craft beautiful AI experiences that push the boundaries of our design language and systems, ensuring we’re thinking beyond current patterns
Experiment with new interaction models and patterns for using AI tools that set the standard for the industry
Turn ambiguous problems that our users are facing into concrete products, from proposal, to kick-off, vision, building, and launch
Feel comfortable building with AI yourself, and understand how to prototype your ideas using these tools as a part of your design process
Shape the developer experience roadmap by prototyping alongside our engineers to pitch new ideas we haven’t even thought of yet, and gain cross-functional buy-in
Work closely with our partner teams, including Developer Products, Connect, Merchant Experience, and across the entire organization to uplevel our AI experiences
Advocate for how AI can help our users across internal teams, ensuring they understand how it will shape the entire way we ship products
Work in a highly collaborative fashion with the design, product, and project teams
Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with design and company leadership

Ability to confidently craft and advocate for new design patterns, interaction models, and think beyond the current design system
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—as well as experience using them yourself
