Who we are

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

Web Presence and Platform is organized into two pillars, each of which is grouped into pods that focus on the central tenets of Stripe's public mission. The Presence pillar creates industry-leading designs for Stripe’s front door surfaces, educating customers about the power of our platform, sharing Stripe’s ideas and expertise with the public, and driving adoption. The Platform pillar builds the internal machinery that powers these surfaces, and is responsible for making our websites fast, stable, and easy to update.

Together we design and build stripe.com and other sites that amount to what is, for many, their first impression of Stripe. As such, WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Stripe’s success. We want to make every pixel count, we want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Stripes seamlessly benefit from our systematic work.

While the team's mission anchors to web surfaces, this role lives deeper in the stack. You will be the engine behind the experiences rather than the pixel-level presentation — APIs, data pipelines, model orchestration, and service reliability that make LLM-driven user experiences possible at scale.

What you’ll do

The Expansion pod brings creativity and executional rigor to attracting new prospects and driving conversion, focusing on user journeys, interactive and highly polished tools for users, and building targeted experiences for our global users.

As a backend engineer you will architect and build the server-side systems and LLM orchestration layers that power intelligent, dynamic user experiences across acquisition journeys. You will design the APIs, data pipelines, and inference infrastructure behind delightful and original interactive tools and resources that attract users. You will collaborate deeply across design, engineering, and cross-functional teams and work across teams and tech stacks to create new site capabilities — with a specific focus on integrating large language models into production-grade services that are reliable, performant, and safe.

This is not a research or ML training role. You will be responsible for wiring LLMs into real user-facing products: managing prompt pipelines, handling model routing and fallback logic, implementing guardrails and output validation.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement the tooling and platforms to support interactive content tools (e.g., calculators, generators, templates) that provide utility to current and prospective businesses.
• Utilize a user-first mindset to implement feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement of content and product offerings.
• Design and build integrations to third-party software and create seamless workflows across these tools to unleash their full potential to the rest of Stripe.
• Ensure reliability, security, and responsible AI practices across all LLM-driven features, including implementing content filtering, PII handling, rate limiting, graceful degradation, and output guardrails.
• Work with a small team of technically sophisticated engineers who put users first.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• 5+ years of backend development experience, with emphasis on building APIs and services that power user-facing experiences
• Experience writing clear, elegant code in a team environment
• Familiarity with LLM APIs and concepts — prompt engineering, token management, embedding models, retrieval-augmented generation, or function calling. You don't need to be a researcher, but you should understand how these models work well enough to build production systems around them.

• Experience building and operating distributed backend systems — you're comfortable with service-oriented architectures, async processing, caching layers, and monitoring/alerting in production.
• Passion for engineering solutions focused around growth hacking & enablement 
• Excellent verbal and written communication

Preferred qualifications

• Proven ability to stitch different services and processes together even if you have not worked with them before
• Experience in developing interactive tools and integrating them with existing systems.
• Experience building highly complex interactive tools, including state management and data fetching
• Experience with data pipeline orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, Temporal, or similar) and structured output parsing from LLMs
• Experience with prompt versioning, A/B testing model outputs, or building model gateway/routing layers that allow teams to swap or compare providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models)
• Proficiency with React, with a focus on interactions, animation, performance, and polish
• Experience with A/B testing, synthetic monitoring, or accessibility testing

Job Description

We are looking for a Staff Product Designer to join the design team at Tailscale. You will primarily partner with the Network Features team, which owns one of the most technically complex and strategically important surfaces in the product: how traffic finds its destination, how networks are segmented and connected, and how operators control that behavior at scale.

That spans a wide range. On the user-facing side, Admin users orchestrate their networks by configuring settings related to: subnet routing, exit nodes, App Connectors, Services, and DNS. On the infrastructure side, you’ll interface with topics like: traffic steering, high availability, DERP servers, and cloud networking primitives. These are not features with obvious consumer analogues. The users are network engineers, IT administrators, and developers building on top of Tailscale, and the problems they bring are genuinely hard to make simple.

At the staff level, scope is not handed to you. You will define where design attention is needed across this space, lead discovery on problems that don't yet have clear answers, and shape product direction alongside your engineering and PM partners. A significant part of that work is translation: taking abstract technical systems and surfacing the design problems hidden inside them clearly enough that engineers, PMs, and stakeholders can align on what to solve and why. Diagramming, system mapping, and other artifacts that make complexity legible are tools you reach for naturally, not as documentation but as a way of driving shared understanding and unblocking decisions. Your influence will extend beyond your immediate projects, affecting how the broader design team approaches craft, process, and product thinking.

You will report to the product design manager and work closely with a team of five product designers and one design researcher. Most of your time will be spent embedded with the Network Features team, with some involvement in wider design team or product initiatives.

People who do well here are genuinely curious about networking and security, comfortable going deep on technically complex domains, and fluent working asynchronously with highly technical teammates.

Key Responsibilities

• Define where design attention is needed across the network features product space and lead discovery on complex, ambiguous problems that often span multiple features or product areas.
• Translate abstract technical systems into clear problem frames, using diagramming, system mapping, and design artifacts to build shared understanding and drive alignment across engineering, product, and other stakeholders,
• Deliver design solutions end-to-end as needed, whether that means changes to a GUI, a CLI experience, or both, working closely with engineers through implementation and QA.
• Explore forward-looking design questions in spaces that do not yet have clear owners or established answers.
• Partner closely with engineering and PM counterparts to move from ambiguous problem statements to clear, well-reasoned solutions.
• Raise the bar for craft and quality across your team and contribute to how the broader design organization approaches process and product thinking.
• Translate insights from user research, behavioral data, and your own product knowledge into design direction.
• Bring AI tools into your workflow in practical ways, whether for research synthesis, rapid prototyping, or solution exploration, and develop a point of view on where AI-assisted experiences belong in technically complex products.

What We Are Looking For

• 10+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time operating at the staff level or equivalent scope
• Strong portfolio demonstrating experience with technically sophisticated B2B or infrastructure products, and a track record of leading discovery on problems without waiting for scope to be defined
• A developed point of view on users and product direction, with evidence of using that perspective to influence roadmap and strategy across engineering and product teams
• Genuine interest in the networking and security space and comfort engaging with technically complex subject matter
• Strong written communication and an ability to articulate design decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
• Ease working in a distributed, asynchronous environment with highly technical teammates

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Tailscale, or working familiarity with networking concepts such as DNS, VPNs, proxies, or traffic routing
• Hands-on experience with cloud native deployment infrastructure (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, etc)
• Experience designing for developer or IT administrator audiences
• Data-informed design practice including behavioral analytics or experimentation
• Fluency with AI tools as part of your design workflow and curiosity about where AI-assisted experiences fit in technical products

As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels. Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary. Individual offers may vary based on experience and skill set.

An overview of this role

GitLab is looking for a Product Design Manager to join the Plan & Analytics stage. As a design leader, you own the delivery of UX commitments, are always looking to improve productivity, and are responsible for the user experience in the product. While you are credible as a designer and know the details of what product designers work on, your time is spent hiring a world-class team and putting them in the best position to succeed.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join the Plan & Analytics stages - Working in GitLab's Plan space sits at the most human and strategic layer of the software development lifecycle — where ideas, priorities, and intentions are formed — making it the perfect frontier to explore how AI can augment not just execution, but thinking itself. As AI accelerates the speed at which code is written and shipped, the Plan space becomes even more critical, because the bottleneck is rapidly shifting from "how fast can we build?" to "how clearly can we define what to build and why?" This creates a rare opportunity to reimagine how teams collaborate, how requirements evolve, and how AI can transform a traditionally manual, document-heavy process into a dynamic, intelligent system that connects strategy directly to delivery.

You'll be working closely with the Product Management and Engineering teams to execute on the product roadmap and priorities.

Some examples of our projects: 

• Work Items
• Saved Views

About the role

We're looking for a Senior UX Researcher who brings rigour and curiosity to both product and marketing research. Someone who's as comfortable running foundational product studies as they are digging into brand perception, buyer mindsets, or how a marketing site actually works for the people using it.

This is strategic, high-visibility work — you'll partner with Product Design, Product Management, Brand, and Marketing to shape what we build and how we tell the world about it.

What makes this role unique:

• Work across both brand and product research, with real influence on each
• Research enterprise developer tools and DevOps workflows — including AI-powered features built for developers
• Fast-paced environment where research directly influences design and business decisions
• Be part of a team of talented, experienced researchers who genuinely invest in each other's growth

What you'll do

• Lead foundational, problem validation, and strategic research projects across your assigned product areas and beyond
• Drive both brand and product research — including buyer persona development, brand perception studies, and digital experience research — that directly informs positioning and messaging
• Be the expert on the users within your area of coverage: their behaviours, pain points, workflows, and goals
• Make connections across research initiatives, surfacing macro insights that no single study could reveal on its own
• Build trusted relationships with Product Design, Product Management, Brand, and Marketing counterparts, guiding them to the right research approach
• Advocate for and socialise actionable insights in a clear and compelling way that increases empathy across the organisation
• Independently drive research prioritisation across stage groups, balancing impact, product direction, and company objectives
• Mentor other researchers and actively shape how the Experience Research team works, through process iteration, documentation, and peer reviews

What you'll bring

• Empathetic, curious and open-minded
• Deep mixed-methods research experience across qualitative and quantitative methods
• A track record in both product research and marketing or brand research
• The ability to guide stakeholders — including senior ones — toward the right approach, even when they arrive with a firm opinion
• Strong instincts for prioritisation across multiple stakeholder groups in a fast-moving environment
• Clear, compelling communication that makes findings land with product, brand, and marketing audiences
• Experience working in a highly iterative, fast-paced environment, with the ability to pivot with sudden changes in direction
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a fully remote, globally distributed team — with strong async communication habits
• Self-motivated and self-managing, with strong organisational skills
• Ability to ramp up to a highly technical domain quickly
• Share our values, and work in accordance with those values
• Able to conduct research in a fully remote setting and use GitLab as part of your daily workflow
• Experience working on AI products, particularly for enterprise dev tooling, is a plus
• Experience working on enterprise and/or developer tooling products is a plus

Overview
The R&D Engineer is a researcher-practitioner - someone equally comfortable reading papers and shipping prototypes. They are responsible for staying close to the frontier of LLM and AI systems research, identifying ideas with practical value, and building POCs that demonstrate feasibility. These POCs are demoed to the team and, where validated, handed off to the Platform and AI Engineers to productionize. This person does not work in isolation — they collaborate closely with the rest of the team throughout the research-to-product pipeline.

What You'll Do:

• Monitor and synthesize developments in LLM systems, AI infrastructure, and adjacent research areas
• Prototype and evaluate novel ideas with a fast feedback loop — build, demo, iterate
• Extend and improve the existing agent and RAG SDKs with new retrieval strategies, agent patterns, and provider integrations
• Evaluate new embedding models, reranking approaches, and retrieval architectures against the existing pipeline
• Collaborate with the Platform and AI Engineers to hand off validated POCs
• Produce clear documentation and demos that make research accessible to non-researchers
• Contribute to discussions with the tech lead on long-term research direction and where to place technical bets
• Engage with the broader research community — conferences, papers, open-source projects
• Identify opportunities where emerging techniques can address real problems surfaced by the AI Engineer

What You Bring:

• Hands-on experience building or evaluating LLM systems — fine-tuning, inference, retrieval, or agents
• Familiarity with RAG architectures beyond naive vector search — HyDE, MMR, graph-based retrieval, reranking, or hybrid search
• Exposure to agent frameworks and multi-agent orchestration patterns (PydanticAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar)
• Demonstrated ability to move quickly from idea to working prototype
• A portfolio of explored ideas — published work, technical blog posts, side projects, or OSS contributions
• Strong communication skills — can explain complex research to non-researchers clearly
• Collaborative by default; understands that research value is realized when ideas ship
  • Core: Python, agent frameworks (PydanticAI or equivalent), RAG pipeline design (embedding, retrieval, reranking), managed ML platforms (Vertex AI or equivalent)
  • Nice to have: Systems-level programming experience, familiarity with inference infrastructure (vLLM, TensorRT), experience with RLHF or fine-tuning pipelines, MCP protocol, graph databases (Neo4j)

ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY

Khan Academy is a nonprofit with the mission to deliver a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Our proven learning platform offers free, high-quality supplemental learning content and practice that cover Pre-K - 12th grade and early college core academic subjects, focusing on math and science. We have over 181 million registered learners globally and are committed to improving learning outcomes for students worldwide, focusing on learners in historically under-resourced communities.

OUR COMMUNITY 

Our students, teachers, and parents come from all walks of life, and so do we. Our team includes people from academia, traditional/non-traditional education, big tech companies, and tiny startups.

We strive to be world-class in investing in our people and commit to developing you as a professional.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Staff UX Researcher to join our Design team. The heart of this role is not just conducting research, but building the high-performance engine that powers user understanding across our entire product. You will be the architect of our "People Who Do Research" (PWDR) program, empowering our Design team to conduct their own tactical research while you provide the methodological rigor, technical guardrails, and strategic oversight. We are looking for an expert who can lead our transition into AI-enhanced research operations—acting as the essential "Human-in-the-Loop" to ensure that as we accelerate our workflows, our insights remain grounded, ethical, and highly actionable.

You will play a vital role in scaling our impact, serving as a coach and consultant to product teams as they navigate the complexities of U.S. school districts. By building the playbooks and knowledge systems that turn raw data into institutional wisdom, you will help us fulfill the mission of the organization: to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• PWDR Program leadership and enablement: Refine and scale our "People Who Do Research" program. You will empower designers and product triads to conduct high-quality tactical UXR research (both qual and quant)  by providing the playbooks, training, and mentorship necessary to maintain rigorous standards across the team.
• AI strategy and research operations: Design, propose, and manage a research tech stack (including Dovetail) powered by responsible AI. You will implement automated workflows for recruiting, synthesis, and insight distribution, serving as the UXR "Human-in-the-Loop" authority to ensure AI-generated outputs are grounded, ethical, and accurate.
• Cross-product research, synthesis, and leadership:  Act as the Design Leadership Team’s expert on customer and user profiles, end-to-end user journeys, and forward-looking research. You will synthesize insights that span multiple product surface areas to identify "connective tissue," strategic gaps, and opportunities that go beyond the scope of individual embedded researchers or designers on product teams.
• Strategic advisory and methodological governance: Serve as a high-level internal consultant, guiding teams on the selection of lean vs. rigorous methodologies. You will lead or co-facilitate complex mixed-method studies when business needs require, providing the foundational frameworks (blueprints, journey maps) that keep teams aligned with the "big picture."
• Support the design team with on-site research in schools, providing guidance and ethical scaffolding, and ensuring legal compliance. U.S. based travel up to 20%.

Responsibilities may change as business and team needs evolve.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Mastery of research methods and rigor: 12+ years of UX research experience in complex enterprise software or SaaS environments. You have a deep command of the craft that allows you to spot flaws in research design or AI-generated summaries.
• Coaching skills: Proven experience in mentorship, coaching, or building "Research Ops" programs. You find as much professional fulfillment in enabling others to do great as you do in conducting the research yourself.
• Responsible AI fluency: Deep technical curiosity regarding GenAI and LLMs, with a practical understanding of their limitations. You know how to leverage AI for speed while acting as the ultimate guardrail for quality and ethics.
• Operational architecture: A track record of building scalable systems, templates, and workflows that have successfully improved the velocity and quality of a design organization.
• Design and product fluency: A sophisticated understanding of the product development lifecycle (PDLC) and software development lifecycle (SDLC), enabling you to integrate research checkpoints into the existing workflows of designers and engineers seamlessly.
• Communication and influence: Exceptional communication skills and "executive presence," with the ability to convince cross-functional leaders of the value of democratized (yet governed) research.
• Motivated by the Khan Academy mission “to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere."
• Proven cross-cultural competency skills demonstrating self-awareness, awareness of other, and the ability to adopt inclusive perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors to drive inclusion and belonging throughout the organization.

Qualities we value in ourselves, and those who join our team:

• Introspective, mature, low-ego, and emotionally intelligent
• Growth mindset, willingness to learn and to teach others
• Proactively seek out the people and info you need to move work forward and unblock yourself
• High comfort level working within a strong top-down product vision led by our CEO, Sal Khan
• Able to balance the immediate tactical needs of helping deliver and ship features with scouting ahead for what’s next
• Comfortable with ever-shifting priorities and ambiguous situations, like you’d experience in a startup
• Willing to roll your sleeves up and pitch in when a project goes off-script
• Excited about education and engaging learning experiences, deeply curious about how and why people learn
