> Senior Staff Engineer leading technical strategy and cross-team delivery for Stripe's merchant-facing Dashboard experiences, driving quality, performance, and AI-powered UX innovation.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Define technical strategy for merchant-facing experiences across Stripe, with a focus on quality, performance, and the integration of AI into core user workflows
- Lead the design and delivery of complex, cross-team projects that measurably improve the reliability, responsiveness, and polish of Stripe merchant surfaces
- Champion a quality-first engineering culture—establish standards, tooling, and processes that make it easy to ship high-quality, performant UI by default
- Drive performance as a product feature—own the technical approach to making the Dashboard and merchant tools best-in-class in speed and responsiveness, including instrumentation, budgets, and architectural improvements
- Innovate on the future of merchant UX—explore and prototype how AI can transform the way merchants discover, configure, and operate Stripe products, moving beyond traditional dashboard paradigms
- Build platforms and abstractions that make Stripe engineers more productive—frameworks, components, and developer tools that encode best practices for quality and performance
- Partner across Stripe with Product, Design, AI and ML, and infrastructure teams to translate high-level product vision into a concrete technical roadmap
- Mentor and grow engineers across the organization, raising the technical bar and fostering a culture of craftsmanship and high standards

## Requirements
- This is a Senior Staff role—the expected scope of this role includes overseeing the work of 4-6 teams and owning an entire portfolio of products—and while there's no strict minimum we're looking for, most candidates will have at least 10-15 years of experience in the industry
- Experience building and shipping complex, user-facing web applications that have reached large-scale audiences (hundreds of thousands of users) or have been contributed to by hundreds of engineers
- A track record of leading large-scale, cross-functional engineering projects with broad organizational impact
- Deep expertise in modern frontend and full-stack development—you have strong opinions on what makes a great user experience and the technical skills to make it real
- Demonstrated ability to drive measurable improvements in software quality and performance (e.g., load times, reliability, test coverage, error rates)
- Experience influencing technical direction and driving alignment across multiple teams without formal authority
- Excellent communication skills—you can articulate a compelling technical vision to engineers, product leaders, and executives alike

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building or maintaining design systems, component libraries, or frontend platform infrastructure at scale—ideally with React
- A deep interest in the intersection of AI and UX—you think critically about how emerging technologies change interaction models and are excited to pioneer new paradigms
- Experience with performance engineering, including profiling, instrumentation, budgeting, and optimization of modern web applications
- Experience with the complexities of deploying large web applications at global scale—bundling, CDNs, browser compatibility, and build tooling
- Comfort working across the full stack—while this role skews frontend, you're not afraid to dive into APIs, backend services, or data layers when that's what the problem requires
- Familiarity with distributed systems, API design, and building platforms that serve both internal developers and external users
- A passion for developer experience and making other engineers more productive
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and contributing to engineering culture and hiring
- Hands-on experience integrating AI-powered capabilities into user-facing products—you've helped ship features that make complex workflows simpler and more intelligent
