Product Designer, Internal Tools

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

You'll work closely with several teams of engineers and PMs to shape products used by Stripe employees across engineering, operations, finance, and beyond. This is a high-impact role for a designer who finds as much satisfaction in untangling complex workflows and dense information architectures as in crafting polished interfaces.

What it asks for · 6

• 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong UX thinking, clear visual craft, and an ability to navigate ambiguity
• Experience designing tools for complex or data-heavy workflows—internal tools, developer tools, ops platforms, or similar are a strong plus
• Comfortable working across the full design process—you can lead discovery, write a problem brief, design and prototype, and ship without needing every step handed to you
• Strong systems thinker—you naturally look for patterns, reusable components, and structural solutions rather than one-off fixes
• Collaborative and direct communicator. You share work early, give and receive feedback well, and know how to align cross-functional stakeholders
• Proficient in Figma and comfortable working within or alongside a design system

Also a plus

• Experience designing for internal-facing or enterprise tooling environments
• You've contributed to a design system, or worked closely to a design systems team
• Exposure to information architecture challenges—navigation, search, and content modeling
• Background in or interest in developer tooling, ops platforms, or workflow automation

What the job covers

• Own end-to-end design for a portfolio of internal tools—from discovery and problem framing through interaction design, prototyping, and implementation support
• Partner with engineering and product managers to define product requirements and translate them into clear, usable, and well-considered design solutions
• Conduct lightweight research and usability sessions with internal users to validate decisions and surface unmet needs
• Contribute to a consistent design language across our internal tools suite, working in close coordination with the Sail Design team and the Stripe design system
• Make design trade-offs confidently, knowing when to go deep on craft and when to ship a pragmatic solution that moves the product forward
• Help raise the bar for internal product design at Stripe, advocating for users who are often underserved compared to customer-facing surfaces
