Careers at Stripe

Who we are About Bridge We're creating an entirely new payments platform, built with stablecoins, to simplify global money movement. Bridge enables faster, cheaper payments and borderless access to dollars via stablecoins. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders faster and cheaper vs. SWIFT and other fiat-only rails. Our virtual accounts enable international consumers and businesses to easily access, store, and spend US dollars. Our payouts infrastructure enables platforms to disburse USD to anyone globally. We believe many trillions of dollars will move and settle through stablecoin payment rails. Bridge is pulling this future forward. We have a small team of people who have previously built financial infrastructure at some of the world's leading companies (Coinbase, Stripe, Square, Brex, Upstart, DoorDash, Airbnb), and each and every one of them chose Bridge because they fundamentally believe that stablecoins will be a critical piece of financial infrastructure that allows for the improvement of global money movement. About the Role As one of the first blockchain engineers at Bridge, you'll have the autonomy to work on projects that are truly global in scale and aim to give customers access to products they've never had access to. Many of the use cases that we work on today didn't exist several months ago, and that's because our team is dedicated to constant improvement for our partners and end users. Our engineers have outsized ownership over projects, so if you're looking for increased autonomy working on a completely greenfield opportunity, Bridge is the place for you. Responsibilities • Build out multi-chain hot wallet infrastructure to support increased reliability of our payments. • Build smart contracts to increase hot wallet payment throughput. • Build smart contract platform to issue custom stablecoins across multiple blockchains (EVM, Solana, Stellar, etc.). • Build smart contract monitoring systems to detect anomalous events (especially related to minting and burning). • Design and develop blockchain-based applications and protocols to support stablecoin transactions and integrations. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into technical specifications. • Implement and maintain smart contracts, ensuring security and efficiency. • Perform thorough testing and debugging of blockchain applications. • Optimize blockchain performance and scalability. • Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in blockchain technology and integrate relevant advancements into our solutions. • Provide technical guidance and support to other team members. • Contribute to the overall architecture and design of our blockchain systems.

About the team The Issuing team owns the Stripe card issuing product end to end from the APIs and backend services that power spend cards, debit cards, and charge cards, to the dashboard and embedded components that businesses use to manage their card programs. We build the infrastructure and interfaces that let platforms and businesses instantly create, distribute, and control payment cards at scale, and we're responsible for the full cardholder lifecycle across commercial and consumer issuing. We're at an inflection point. Issuing is expanding into new geographies, new card categories (stablecoin, healthcare, consumer credit), and deeper partnerships with major platforms. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role at the intersection of financial infrastructure, developer-facing APIs, and end-user product experience, and it requires someone who can lead technically across a complex, fast-moving domain. What you'll do Define and drive the technical strategy for Issuing, including multi-year architecture decisions across backend services, APIs, and user-facing surfaces. Own end-to-end technical solutions for critical systems, authorization flows, spending controls, cardholder management, and card program configuration, ensuring they are reliable, scalable, and operationally sound.
