About the role
About Stripe
Stripe 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. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About The Team
The Product Design team is made up of several groups that define, create, and deliver all user-facing aspects of Stripe's brand and product. Product Designers are strategic partners to Engineering and Product Management within their product area. In close collaboration with product teams, they shape user experiences, then translate them into high-quality designs that can be tested, shipped, and refined. Designers are responsible for building elegant, functional products that users love—and want to tell others about.
Agentic commerce has the potential to be generationally impactful, which is why Stripe has assembled a dedicated team to explore and build the tools, products, and capabilities to accelerate the pace of change and help define what this future should look like. We've already developed the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) alongside OpenAI, we've introduced Shared Payment Tokens, a new payment primitive that lets agents initiate transactions, and we've launched an Agentic Commerce Suite, which provides tooling for businesses to sell across multiple AI interfaces. There's no forecasting exactly where agentic commerce will be by the end of 2026, so this solid foundation is just the start.
What you'll do
You'll lead design for Agentic Commerce. You'll work alongside a small group of Product Managers and Engineers to shape our strategy and build a variety of transformative products—for merchants, agents, and for consumers. You'll reimagine the consumer checkout experience with agentic commerce capabilities in mind. You'll explore how those capabilities can be embedded across a variety of surfaces, from conversational LLMs to merchant apps to our own Link product. You'll build the tools necessary for merchants of all sizes to integrate and manage their products across those surfaces. And you'll do all of this while holding an incredibly high bar for craft and quality and acting as a leader across the team for designing with intelligent AI-driven workflows.
Responsibilities
- Explore, shape, and communicate a compelling product vision alongside product and engineering teammates
- Design and iterate on ambiguous product experiences for merchants, agents, and consumers
- Work directly with senior leadership to communicate progress and evolve our strategy
