About the team
Our Growth team is on a mission to acquire, convert and grow millions of merchants globally across Stripe’s full suite of financial products. We are a cross-functional team of engineers, scientists, marketers, designers and product managers that deliver the insights, algorithms, internal systems and tools, and user-facing experiences that fuel Stripe’s growth. In short, we make it easy for people to act on their interest in Stripe.
As part of the Growth Design team, you will design products that help bring new users into Stripe and take their first steps with our tools with the strongest possible start. This includes working on products that bridge our marketing and Dashboard experiences together, as well as key growth-related customer experiences (e.g., onboarding, product recommendations, and more).
You’ll also be part of the broader Design team at Stripe, which works across many types of initiatives—from our brand voice to events, web and mobile products, primary qualitative and quantitative research, and even printed publications. And since Stripe’s main audience is other people who build products, we take pride in meticulously crafting user-friendly experiences.
