Product Designer, Internal Tools

What you'll do You'll take ownership of two spaces within our internal tooling portfolio—Developer Productivity, focused on ensuring every engineer at Stripe has the tools to be productive, and Collaboration, focused on knowledge discovery and communication at scale. You'll pair with an existing designer on the team to bring design quality and consistency to surfaces that are critical to how Stripe operates internally. Responsibilities Own end-to-end design for a portfolio of internal tools—from discovery and problem framing through interaction design, prototyping, and implementation support Partner with engineering and product managers to define product requirements and translate them into clear, usable, and well-considered design solutions Conduct lightweight research and usability sessions with internal users to validate decisions and surface unmet needs Contribute to a consistent design language across our internal tools suite, working in close coordination with the Sail Design team and the Stripe design system Make design trade-offs confidently, knowing when to go deep on craft and when to ship a pragmatic solution that moves the product forward Help raise the bar for internal product design at Stripe, advocating for users who are often underserved compared to customer-facing surfaces 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 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong UX thinking, clear visual craft, and an ability to navigate ambiguity Experience designing tools for complex or data-heavy workflows—internal tools, developer tools, ops platforms, or similar are a strong plus Comfortable working across the full design process—you can lead discovery, write a problem brief, design and prototype, and ship without needing every step handed to you Strong systems thinker—you naturally look for patterns, reusable components, and structural solutions rather than one-off fixes Collaborative and direct communicator. You share work early, give and receive feedback well, and know how to align cross-functional stakeholders Proficient in Figma and comfortable working within or alongside a design system Preferred qualifications Experience designing for internal-facing or enterprise tooling environments You've contributed to a design system, or worked closely to a design systems team Exposure to information architecture challenges—navigation, search, and content modeling Background in or interest in developer tooling, ops platforms, or workflow automation
