Who we areAbout StripeStripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities.

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.
