Day-to-day expectations
A clear list of the work this role is designed to cover.
- Define technical strategy for merchant-facing experiences across Stripe, with a focus on quality, performance, and the integration of AI into core user workflows
- Lead the design and delivery of complex, cross-team projects that measurably improve the reliability, responsiveness, and polish of Stripe's merchant surfaces
- Champion a quality-first engineering culture - establish standards, tooling, and processes that make it easy to ship high-quality, performant UI by default
- Drive performance as a product feature - own the technical approach to making the Dashboard and merchant tools best-in-class in speed and responsiveness, including instrumentation, budgets, and architectural improvements
- Innovate on the future of merchant UX - explore and prototype how AI can transform the way merchants discover, configure, and operate Stripe products, moving beyond traditional dashboard paradigms
- Build platforms and abstractions that make Stripe engineers more productive - frameworks, components, and developer tools that encode best practices for quality and performance
What a strong candidate brings
This keeps the job page specific, readable, and easier to match.
- Experience building or maintaining design systems, component libraries, or frontend platform infrastructure at scale - ideally with React
- A deep interest in the intersection of AI and UX - you think critically about how emerging technologies change interaction models and are excited to pioneer new paradigms
- Experience with performance engineering: profiling, instrumentation, budgeting, and optimization of modern web applications
- Experience with the complexities of deploying large web applications at global scale - bundling, CDNs, browser compatibility, and build tooling
- Comfort working across the full stack - while this role skews frontend, you're not afraid to dive into APIs, backend services, or data layers when that's what the problem requires
- Familiarity with distributed systems, API design, and building platforms that serve both internal developers and external users
