Who we are
About Stripe & Link
At Stripe, we’ve spent the last 15 years building financial infrastructure for the internet, serving millions of people and businesses worldwide. Our flagship consumer product, Link, makes online payments and digital transactions effortless and secure—the digital wallet for what’s next.
This is a unique opportunity to continue building a standalone brand and introduce it to new global audiences. You’ll play a key role in making payments more personal and convenient while doing some of the most impactful work of your career.
About the team
Sitting within Brand Studio, the Link team is building Stripe’s first consumer brand. We build, evolve, and maintain a versatile, forward-looking visual identity system and find clear, fresh ways to apply it across surfaces. The brand designers on our team are multidisciplinary: they design robust visual systems, lead art direction, and craft surfaces that prioritize brand and product storytelling.
Working with cross-functional teams across Stripe and external partners, we set the vision and execute to a high quality bar. Our work shows up IRL, online, and everywhere between.
