About the team
The Link team builds the global, consumer network for next-generation commerce, using our base of 300M+ registered consumers to pioneer the future of Identity, Consumer Finance, and AI-driven transactions. While our foundation was built on high-conversion merchant payments and a flexible digital wallet, we are expanding far beyond. We are building the infrastructure for a world where AI agents transact on your behalf, stablecoins go mainstream, and identity dictates how money moves.
We think of Link as the wallet for the internet — and we're building for what's next.
What you'll do
As a Staff Designer on Link, you'll lead the visual design direction for some of Link's newest and most ambitious bets. You'll define what a product looks like and feels like, bring visual conviction to early-stage concepts, and shape Link's expanding consumer presence across Stripe’s checkout, with our AI partners, and in Link’s own app. This is a role for someone who does their best work when the problem is undefined and the canvas is blank.
Responsibilities
- Define the visual design direction for net-new Link products and surfaces from the ground up across mobile and web
- Lead design exploration on early-stage, pre-roadmap opportunities from initial concept through launch
- Build new visual languages, component patterns, and design systems for products that don't exist yet
- Partner with brand designers to extend and evolve Link's visual identity into new product categories
- Shape early product strategy through design exploration and rapid prototyping, making abstract opportunities tangible for product and engineering partners
- Represent Link's design vision in senior reviews and establish the creative bar for new product areas
