Senior Staff Product Designer, Risk

About the Team

The Product Design team defines and delivers user‑facing experiences across Stripe. Product Designers work closely with engineers, product managers, researchers, strategists, operations, data scientists, and marketers to shape products from early strategy through launch and iteration.

You’ll join the Risk team, where design shapes how businesses get started on Stripe, stay compliant, and grow with confidence. Hexis sits at the intersection of building trust in the internet economy, platform design, and new product creation, making it one of the most strategically important design opportunities at Stripe.
