Careers at Stripe

Who we are About Stripe Stripe is a technology company focused on improving the conditions for economic growth and prosperity. We build programmable financial infrastructure, rethinking from first principles how financial services should work, to make it easier and cheaper for any business to start and scale. More than 10 million businesses build on Stripe, spanning the economic frontier—from solo founders to established enterprises—united by a practical focus on growth. The most ambitious companies in the world use Stripe as core infrastructure to grow faster. They process trillions of dollars a year on Stripe, equivalent to around 1.6% of global GDP. While economic growth makes everyone better off, open markets also enable greater variety. When any business can easily serve a global customer base, the quality and diversity of products in the world increase, and craft and creativity are unleashed into the smallest niches. Our own growth is wholly contingent on the success of the businesses building on Stripe. We therefore invest back into our technology at an unusual rate. We make upgrades to our products every single day to deliver compounding gains to our customers. We maintain some of the most reliable APIs on the internet. We build entirely new pieces of financial infrastructure to enable new ideas. And our significant advances in risk and fraud infrastructure over many years are making the internet economy safer and more accessible. Though people at Stripe don’t tend to take themselves seriously, Stripe is a fairly serious place: our customers are depending on us for their livelihoods. We admire ambition, intensity, curiosity, humility, and rigor. The most effective people become knowledgeable about many domains besides their own. Any company is an applied exercise in understanding some aspect of society or the market. In working with so many (especially the new and innovative ones), we think that Stripe is one of the very best places to learn about how the world works. Your role Stripe is large enough that individual products and projects can be rapidly deployed to a meaningful fraction of the world’s businesses, but small enough that individual agency still has outsized impact. Small teams can impact how millions of businesses grow. Right now the global economy is replatforming around AI, creating new opportunities for growth. We’re at the center of this, and we think the best work is still in front of us. To meet this moment, we’re looking for people who move with urgency, like hard problems, and want their work to matter at a time of great change. If that’s you, there’s no better place to build your career. Who you are Ambitious builder: You’re energized by building solutions without clear precedent and solving problems with far-reaching consequences. Successful Stripes are deeply curious, and prefer the joy of discovery to the comfort of certainty. Rigorous thinker: You appreciate that things worth doing are rarely simple. You enjoy working on problems that have never been tackled before. Adaptable problem solver: You adapt quickly and treat obstacles as opportunities. At Stripe we embrace kindness while encouraging Stripes to take measured risks and act boldly, even in the absence of consensus.

Lead a project team of engineers through execution, creating clarity on priorities, decisions, risks, and delivery milestones. Partner with Product, Design, Data Science, Risk, Infrastructure, and other Stripe teams to build capabilities that are safe, reliable, and useful. Navigate dependencies across Stripe’s payments and money-movement platforms, making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, user experience, operational reliability, and durable technical foundations. Raise the engineering bar through technical leadership, design reviews, mentoring, and constructive feedback across the team. Help shape the team’s longer-term roadmap by identifying opportunities, technical risks, and investments needed to scale Link’s financial capabilities globally. 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 8+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience, with a track record of owning large, ambiguous systems end-to-end. Demonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of large, complex software projects from early definition through production launch. Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences. Experience leading and unblocking a group of engineers on a substantial project as a senior individual contributor. Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments: framing problems, making durable technical decisions, and creating an actionable path forward. Excellent cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration skills, with the ability to align teams with different systems, priorities, and constraints. Strong engineering judgment around system reliability, operational excellence, security, and maintainability. A product-minded approach to engineering, with a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for users and the business. Preferred qualifications Experience with Java, Ruby, and/or TypeScript. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn than expertise in a particular language or framework. Experience building payments, money-movement, fintech, or other regulated financial products. Experience building consumer products at scale, particularly products that require a high degree of user trust. Experience working on 0→1 products or taking new capabilities from concept through launch and iteration. Familiarity with stablecoins, digital assets, or the infrastructure that enables global financial products. Appreciation for the importance of good documentation—internal and external—and taking pride in seeing projects through to successful completion
