If you've ever wondered "How does Stripe make beautiful web pages?", the answer is "Open a text editor to a new ERB file and then keep typing until there is a beautiful web page." If what happens in the middle intrigues you: fun opportunity, small team, remote-friendly.
It really is a thing to behold, because the first thing I did when I got here was start looking for the magical secret sauce and, without violating any confidences, there just isn't any. Smart people with high standards spending a lot of time getting things right; that's it.
Actually, addendum to "there just isn't any": there is like one specific place I'm aware of where designers and engineers got together to address a problem faced by literally every website in history and hit it with an orbital ion cannon. Can't elaborate, but point mostly true.
