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

WPP 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, educates customers about the power of our platform, and drives our business success. The Platform pillar builds the internal machinery that powers these surfaces, and is responsible for making our websites fast, stable, and easy to modify.

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 on WPP’s Presence pillar, you’ll partner closely with the Platform pillar to scope and implement user experiences that directly contribute to Stripe’s continued global mission while maintaining our industry-leading commitment to quality. Initiatives could include, but are not limited to: crafting experiences to drive client persona journeys, tooling to automate localization efforts across the globe, and creating best-in-class digital experiences driven by complex systems. You’ll enable prospective clients to self-select into the right Stripe product lines, bring additional partners into the authoring process while upholding our high quality bar, and directly impact Stripe’s success by marrying data-driven rigor with our deep commitment to craft.
