Who we are

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

The UI Platform team, known as Sail, builds the foundations that support Stripe’s Dashboard and many of Stripe’s other user interfaces. The Sail UI team owns Stripe’s design system, helping Stripe engineers create consistent, accessible, performant, and high-quality experiences at scale.

We build and maintain reusable components, design tokens, theming capabilities, documentation, and developer tooling used by engineers and designers across Stripe. We are currently focused on two major projects. First, we are building Sail for Agents: the generation infrastructure, documentation systems, agent integrations, and automated quality checks that help AI coding agents build high-quality Stripe interfaces safely and consistently at scale. Second, we are evolving the visual language of the Dashboard, one of Stripe’s largest UI surfaces, while modernizing its underlying codebase.

What you’ll do

As a Frontend Engineer on the Sail UI team, you’ll help build and evolve Stripe’s design system and the tools that enable engineers and AI coding agents to create high-quality user interfaces. You’ll independently drive frontend projects from problem definition through rollout, working closely with designers, product engineers, and other Sail engineers. Your work will range from reusable components, themes, and documentation to agentic tooling, automated quality checks, and modernizing the foundations of Stripe’s Dashboard.

Responsibilities

  • Take end-to-end ownership of software projects, independently scoping problems and carrying solutions through design, implementation, testing, and rollout
  • Build and maintain accessible, performant, and well-tested components, themes, and frontend APIs used across Stripe
  • Build tooling, documentation, and automated quality checks that help engineers and AI coding agents use Sail effectively and meet Stripe’s UI quality bar
  • Partner with product designers and engineers to understand their needs and turn recurring UI patterns into reusable design-system capabilities
  • Help evolve the visual language of Stripe’s Dashboard while modernizing its underlying codebase and migrating legacy UI patterns
  • Improve the accessibility, internationalization, observability, performance, reliability, and developer experience of the design system
  • Contribute thoughtful code reviews, technical discussions, and documentation that improve the quality of the team’s work

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

  • Fluency in using AI-assisted and agentic development tools as part of day-to-day software engineering, including critically reviewing, validating, and improving generated code
  • 2+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, or equivalent practical experience, building, shipping, and debugging web applications
  • Strong knowledge of modern frontend technologies and frameworks, including browser fundamentals, responsive design, and accessibility
  • Ability to independently scope and deliver open-ended frontend projects, making practical technical and product tradeoffs with limited oversight
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with attention to testing, maintainability, and the quality of the resulting user experience
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with designers, product engineers, and other partners

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience working on a design system, frontend platform, or shared component library
  • Experience with developer tooling such as build tools, package managers, codemods, lint rules, or large monorepos
  • Experience building tools, integrations, or automated evaluation and quality systems for AI coding agents
  • Experience using documentation, developer feedback, or adoption data to improve a developer-facing product

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is €61,400 - €92,000. This range may change if you are hired in another location. 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 specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process.
