Frontend Engineer, UI Components and Patterns

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 Stripe Dashboard is the primary way that merchants manage their Stripe accounts with a web browser. The UI Components and Patterns team is making the Dashboard’s UI and UX more consistent, accessible, mobile responsive, and modern. We’re doing this by building and establishing Dashboard-wide patterns that we and other teams use, and by creating and updating platform-level UI components. Our team is composed of engineers and designers. We’re primarily remote, and distributed throughout North America.

What you’ll do

As a frontend engineer on the UI Components and Patterns team, you’ll build platform-level components, patterns, and guidelines for the Stripe Dashboard, elevating the experience for every merchant. By creating and expanding these platform capabilities, you’ll make the page-to-page and product-to-product experience in the Dashboard more consistent, accessible, mobile responsive, and modern. And on top of that, you’ll accelerate other teams at Stripe by enabling them to focus on their unique goals without needing to think about platform-level concerns.

You’ll work with engineers and designers across many teams to identify new opportunities to improve and expand the Dashboard’s capabilities. We “raise the floor” for ourselves and the rest of Stripe. Our team emphasizes high-polish user experiences, data-driven decision making, and iterative development.
