Who we are

About Stripe & Link

At Stripe, we’ve spent the last 15 years building financial infrastructure for the internet, serving millions of people and businesses worldwide. Our flagship consumer product, Link, makes online payments and digital transactions effortless and secure—the digital wallet for what’s next.

This is a unique opportunity to continue building a standalone brand and introduce it to new global audiences. You’ll play a key role in making payments more personal and convenient while doing some of the most impactful work of your career.

About the team

Sitting within Brand Studio, the Link team is building Stripe’s first consumer brand. We build, evolve, and maintain a versatile, forward-looking visual identity system and find clear, fresh ways to apply it across surfaces. The brand designers on our team are multidisciplinary: they design robust visual systems, lead art direction, and craft surfaces that prioritize brand and product storytelling.

Working with cross-functional teams across Stripe and external partners, we set the vision and execute to a high quality bar. Our work shows up IRL, online, and everywhere between.

What you’ll do

You’ll be joining a highly creative team that spans anywhere from developing storytelling to creating digital tools, brand systems to rapid ideation. The work is highly experimental, idea driven, and very collaborative and cross-functional.

Responsibilities

• Be an adamant maker that is genuinely curious, experimental, and loves to tinker, iterate quickly, and innovate on ideas, narrative, and making beautiful things
• Contribute to raising the team's standards and culture of craft through the quality, clarity, and consistency of your own work
• Elevate and shape a brand system that is flexible enough to work across various surfaces and exemplifies Stripe’s commitment to craft & beauty
• Collaborate with like-minded creative people who have radically different skill sets and together create ideas that envision an optimistic, progressive future

• Give and solicit feedback from wide range of teammates and stakeholders
