About the Team

The Dashboard Product team provides user experiences for Stripe merchants. The team focuses on Stripe Dashboard, the main interface for merchants, with an emphasis on detail, craftsmanship, quality, and consistency.

The team serves two core user groups: merchants using the Dashboard and internal product teams. It owns critical, first-touch surfaces such as the homepage and develops shared components and paradigms that enable a consistent Dashboard experience across the organization.

The team is mentorship-oriented, with staff engineers working alongside early-career engineers. It is also exploring how AI agents can create new ways for merchants to interact with their products.

Responsibilities

• Own the frontend quality, consistency, and visual craft of the Stripe Dashboard's highest-traffic pages, particularly core logged-in surfaces.
• Identify and execute opportunities to improve consistency, performance, and polish across the Dashboard.
• Partner closely with Design and Product as the technical voice on frontend feasibility, quality standards, and implementation approach.
• Contribute to and advocate for the Stripe design system, ensuring components and patterns work across the Dashboard and other product surfaces.
• Establish frontend quality standards, including patterns, code review practices, and implementation guidance for junior engineers.
• Prototype and explore AI-powered experiences that change how merchants discover and interact with Stripe products.
• Collaborate with backend engineers on integration points while maintaining frontend craft as the core focus.
• Mentor early-career engineers and help raise the team's overall quality bar.

• A track record of driving measurable improvements to UI consistency and polish across large, distributed products.
• Experience working closely with Design teams and translating design intent into high-quality production implementations.
• Demonstrated ability to work across a large codebase and bring coherence to high-traffic product surfaces.

• A passion for crafting web experiences, demonstrated through a design portfolio and frontend code showcasing engaging microsites, Figma plugins, creative code, design systems, or similar work.
• Familiarity with frontend performance engineering, including profiling, instrumentation, and optimization.
• Interest in AI-driven user experiences, with experience prototyping or shipping AI-powered features.
• Experience mentoring early-career engineers and contributing to team-wide quality standards.
