## Description

We are looking for a hybrid talent: a leading-edge learning designer who thinks like a product engineer. As a learning architect, you will not just create content,you will build the systems, platforms, and tech-forward solutions that deliver Stripe’s development philosophy to every employee in the flow of work.

You will sit at the intersection of our People Development and our Enablement & Ops teams, acting as the bridge that transforms high-touch, human-led programs into scalable, AI-enabled learning ecosystems. You are a 'builder of builders,' creating the tools and standards that allow our entire team to deliver exceptional, high-standard learning at scale.

**Strategic Partnership & Program Transformation**

- Consultative architecting: Act as a high-touch partner to People Development DRIs (e.g., Manager & Leadership Development, Team Effectiveness), helping them evolve high-touch, facilitated curricula into scalable digital learning ecosystems that meet Stripes in the flow of work.

- Modernization audit: Lead a review of Stripe’s existing development content to identify opportunities where technology and AI can broaden the reach and impact of flagship programs without losing their signature rigor.

- Stakeholder synthesis: Act as a 'Product Manager' for learning, synthesizing diverse inputs from PD experts into a cohesive technical roadmap that aligns with Stripe’s talent & development strategy.

**Systems Architecture & AI Innovation**

- AI-driven coaching: Lead the immediate architecture and deployment of AI-driven interfaces that provide context-aware leadership advice and skill-building grounded in Stripe’s unique operating principles and talent philosophy.

- Infrastructure optimization: Partner with the Ops & Enablement team to build the data 'pipes' and knowledge structures that allow our internal content to be surfaced dynamically and reliably.

- Builder of builders: Create standardized templates, AI prompt libraries, and digital components that empower the broader People Development, Enablement and Operations team to maintain a high bar for craft and beauty independently.

**Experience Architecture & UI/UX Design**

- Functional craft: Transform complex leadership philosophies into bite-sized, scannable, and interactive digital interfaces that reduce cognitive load and prioritize functional beauty.

- In-platform enablement: Design and optimize learning assets for Stripe’s specific ecosystem (Confluence, Slack, and G-Suite), ensuring high utility mid-workflow.

- Prototyping & user testing: Build interactive prototypes to test how Stripes engage with new tools, using rapid feedback loops to refine functionality before full-scale deployment.

**Requirements**

- 7-10+ years of experience in instructional design or learning engineering.

- A portfolio of 'functional beauty': You can demonstrate projects where you’ve transformed 'walls of text' into intuitive, beautiful, and highly functional digital experiences.

- AI native: You move beyond simple prompting to think about how AI can be architected into the learning journey to leverage scale and improve content.

- Collaborative translator: You have a proven track record of partnering with high-level subject matter experts (leadership coaches, program managers, etc.) to productize their expertise into scalable, high-standard digital formats.

- Product-led mindset: You think in terms of 'user friction' and 'interaction models' over 'curriculum.'

- Visual design expertise: Mastery of design tools (e.g., Figma) and an obsessive eye for detail in layout, scale, craft and beauty.

- Thoughtfully fast: You are someone who knows when and what to move fast on and when to be deliberate, balancing a sense of urgency and focus alongside ruthless prioritization.
