Job description

Turn jargon into feeling, briefs into beauty, and constraints into fuel: that’s the daily alchemy of the UI Designer at Stripe. Here’s the long and short of it — Stripe pays $65,000 - $90,000, trusts your 6 years, and lets you own the creative call.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to and help evolve Stripe's design system and component library
• Storyboard and direct photo, video, and content shoots end to end
• Write microcopy that does the heavy lifting buttons usually get blamed for
• Reframe a rejected idea as the seed of the one that finally lands
• Translate dense product specs into visuals a tired commuter grasps instantly
• Pace a product walkthrough so the self-directed payoff lands at the right second
• Keep the no-ego brand promise intact while every channel demands its own dialect
• Knead a clumsy stock photo into something that feels shot for Stripe

What You’ll Bring

• A MI work history, or strong reasons you’ll thrive here anyway
• Experience translating Prototyping complexity for a non-technical audience
• A small-but-mighty attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• Proven Service Design results, ideally seasoned in Detroit, MI
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

What sets Stripe apart isn’t size but a results-oriented Detroit culture that refuses to ship Service Design it wouldn’t trust itself. We keep the Detroit, MI office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Mentoring work actually gets a fighting chance.

Joining Stripe means $65,000 - $90,000, strong benefits, and a culture where senior engineers actively mentor newer talent.

We bumped this posting hours ago because the role is still very much open.
