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 Data Product Experiences (DPE) team is dedicated to making Stripe's merchant-facing data products intuitive, delightful, and actionable. We build client-side rendering engines, high-performance charting libraries, and interactive visualization interfaces that handle high-throughput streaming telemetry and real-time merchant analytics.
What you’ll do
In this role, you will architect and build high-performance client-side data rendering engines from scratch to visualize tens of thousands of data points smoothly. You will collaborate closely with Designers, Product Managers, and Front-End Systems Engineers to define cutting-edge data visualization paradigms that reduce cognitive load and prevent visual fatigue for Stripe's users.
Responsibilities
• Partner with designers and product managers to prototype, build, and ship interactive analytics dashboards and data visualization tools across the Stripe Dashboard.
• Contribute to Stripe’s core design system by developing scalable, reusable visualization components and charting standards for engineering teams.
• Design frontend integration strategies and robust API contracts to enable seamless adoption of analytics components by partner teams.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship through code reviews, pairing, and fostering frontend engineering best practices.
• Collaborate across Product, Design, Data Infrastructure, and Analytics teams to deliver high-quality, data-driven user experiences.
• Optimize rendering performance and state management for web applications handling large datasets, real-time telemetry, and high-density visual components.
