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.

Show full description
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.
