Design Engineer - Expansion
Top Benefits
About the role
What you’ll do
As a Design Engineer you will concept, prototype, and build new experiences for our web presence. You’ll build new tools and experiences to illustrate the value of Stripe’s products. You’ll often craft individual experiences or animations that distill a complex topic into a simple concept, such as stripe.com/checkout. You’ll constantly consider in-browser performance, SEO and discoverability, and accessibility. You’ll both use existing components and create new ones for other designers and engineers to consume and build upon.
All Design Engineers in WPP have a shared commitment to user experience and craft, but each pod has subtly different focus areas. The Collective pod leverages design, animation, and interaction to drive awareness, educate prospective users, and share Stripe’s expertise across public surfaces such as Stripe.com, Stripe Sessions, Stripe Press, and Link. The Expansion pod brings the same creativity and executional rigor to attracting new prospects and driving conversion, focusing on user journeys, interactive and highly polished tools for users, and building targeted experiences for our global users.
As a Design Engineer on the Expansion pod, you will bring a high standard for creativity and execution to a variety of high-impact opportunities. You will reimagine the user experience moments that contribute to acquisition journeys. You will build delightful and original interactive tools and resources that attract users. You will collaborate deeply across design, engineering, and cross-functional teams and work across teams and tech stacks to create new site capabilities.
