О команде

The Support Experience engineering organization builds and improves Stripe’s user support from end to end: how users get help within our products, how they get in touch with us when they have questions, and how our teams use internal tools to answer those questions. We’re accountable for the quality and reliability of this support stack and we use data and firsthand experience to continuously improve it.

Providing great support to users of all sizes is culturally important to everyone at Stripe. We partner closely with Stripe’s design, product, and operational teams across a wide surface

area: the external-facing support interfaces (https://support.stripe.com/), self-serve content, entry points, internal tooling, case routing, and helping product teams across the company

reduce support volume by improving our products. We are also using the latest generative AI technologies to re-imagine support experiences, and are developing AI assistants for Stripe’s

users and to help our operations teams be more productive.
