Design Engineer, Presence

Together we design and build stripe.com and other sites that amount to what is, for many, their first impression of Stripe. As such, WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Stripe's success. We want to make every pixel count, we want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Stripes seamlessly benefit from our systematic work.

What you'll do

As a Design Engineer you will concept, prototype, and build new experiences for our web presence. You'll bring your creativity and expertise to the full range of the Stripe brand, across evergreen pages as well as time-based campaigns. You'll both utilize and contribute to our libraries and design systems, and, when appropriate, work outside established systems to create new digital moments. You'll constantly have in-browser performance in mind, and create abstractions that other designers and engineers 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, Link, and others. 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 Collective pod, you will help us continue to drive Stripe.com forward, bringing new experiences to life or refining existing content to inform prospective users about the company and its offerings. You will partner closely with designers, other engineers, and partners to execute and evolve the site, bringing technical craft and creativity to the expansive scope of Stripe's web presence.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with our team's designers and partners to both create new experiences for and maintain Stripe.com
• Work closely with other design engineers, pairing, mentoring, and continually building a culture of excellence
• Prototype and implement web animations and interaction-heavy product launch materials
• Build beautiful, best-in-class end-user experiences to solve complex problems
• Utilize, maintain, and extend our design systems
• Integrate our web platform with self-serve authoring and experimentation
