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
Web Presence and Platform (WPP) designs, builds, and operates Stripe’s public web presence, including stripe.com and other sites that may be the first impression of Stripe for many. We create industry-leading experiences that help customers understand the power of Stripe’s platform, share Stripe’s ideas and expertise, and drive adoption. We also build the systems and operational foundations behind those experiences, making our websites fast, stable, and easy to evolve.
Our work brings together design craft, engineering, operations, and business strategy. We want to make every pixel count, create experiences that are both useful and compelling, and help other Stripes benefit from the systems and capabilities we build.
What you’ll do
WPP’s Design Systems pod builds and stewards Helm, the shared design system behind stripe.com. We create the components, patterns, tools, and guidance that help WPP teams deliver expressive, consistent, and high-quality web experiences at scale. We work across design and engineering to keep design intent, production code, and real-world usage aligned as the system evolves.
As an engineer on the Design Systems pod, you will turn Stripe’s visual direction into reusable, production-ready capabilities. You’ll shape components from early design through implementation, testing, documentation, adoption, and ongoing iteration. You’ll combine strong design judgment with frontend expertise to ensure Helm works across responsive layouts, interaction states, accessibility needs, performance constraints, content models, and locales. You’ll also partner with teams building on Helm, helping them use the system effectively, identify reusable patterns, and contribute improvements back to it.
Responsibilities
- Design and build polished, accessible, and performant React components and patterns that express Stripe’s visual language across stripe.com
- Partner closely with designers and engineers to shape component behavior, APIs, responsive states, interaction details, and design-token architecture
