About The Team

The Dashboard Product team is committed to providing world-class user experiences for Stripe merchants. We focus on perfecting the Dashboard Stripe’s main interface for merchants - by infusing meticulous attention to detail and craft. We take immense pride in our work and deeply care about the quality of the products we deliver. We’re dedicated to building a team with an acute focus on detail, nurturing a level of craftsmanship that makes us proud to share our work with the world.

We serve two core user groups. First, is real merchants using the Dashboard. We own the most critical, first-touch surfaces, such as the homepage, which we drive to set the benchmark for intuitive, reliable software. This work directly informs our second set of users, internal product teams. We distill our front-line insights into shared components and paradigms, empowering the entire organization to build a consistent, holistic Dashboard experience.

We're a mentorship-forward team where staff engineers work directly alongside early-career engineers to raise the quality bar across everything we ship. We're also actively exploring how AI agents can unlock new creative possibilities for how merchants interact with their products, and we're excited to bring that same spirit of invention to the frontend craft.

What you'll do

As a Frontend Engineer on the Dashboard Product team, you’ll collaborate with skilled designers and engineers to drive UX excellence in the Stripe Dashboard. You’ll craft experiences that simplify complex tasks for merchants, ensuring high performance, seamless information architecture, and intuitive discoverability. You’ll work on inventing new paradigms and elevating existing ones, with an eye toward broader use cases on the Dashboard. Working closely with designers and cross-functional groups, you’ll craft experiences that help merchants understand their business and execute essential tasks with surprising levels of ease and delight. You’ll also mentor early-career engineers to raise our collective quality bar, all while exploring how emerging AI agents can unlock new, creative ways for merchants to interact with their business.

Responsibilities

• Own the frontend quality, consistency, and visual craft of the Stripe Dashboard's highest-traffic pages, with particular focus on core logged-in surfaces
• Identify and execute opportunities to improve consistency, performance, and polish across the Dashboard
• Partner closely with Design and Product, serving as the technical voice on frontend feasibility, quality standards, and implementation approach
• Contribute to and advocate for the Stripe design system, ensuring components and patterns work well across the Dashboard and other product surfaces
• Establish frontend quality standards for the team, including patterns, code review practices, and implementation guidance for junior engineers
• Prototype and explore AI-powered experiences that change how merchants discover and interact with Stripe products
• Collaborate with backend engineers on integration points while keeping frontend craft as your core focus

Who you are

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum Requirements

• This is a Staff-level role - that typically means 10+ years of experience building and shipping complex, user-facing web applications at large scale
• Deep expertise in modern frontend development, with strong opinions on UI quality and the ability to execute to a high level of visual precision
• Track record of driving measurable improvements to UI consistency and polish across large, distributed products
• Experience working closely with Design teams and translating design intent into high-quality production implementation
• Demonstrated ability to work across a large codebase and bring coherence to high-traffic product surfaces

Preferred Qualifications

• Passion for crafting beautiful experiences on the web, demonstrated through a design portfolio and frontend code showcasing engaging microsites, Figma plugins, creative code, design systems, or other similar endeavors
• Familiarity with frontend performance engineering, including profiling, instrumentation, and optimization
• Interest in AI-driven user experiences, with experience prototyping or shipping AI-powered features
• Experience mentoring early-career engineers and contributing to team-wide quality standards
• Comfort working across the full stack when needed, with a clear preference and passion for frontend craft
• Advanced proficiency with React, with an emphasis on interactions, animation, performance, and refinement
• Experience with A/B testing, synthetic monitoring, or accessibility testing

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $224,000 - $336,000. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you.

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
