Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the Organization

Payments and Risk Sub-orgs within Payments and Risk: Link and OCS, Payments Acceptance, Risk

The Payments organization focuses on developing products and platforms that enable users to accept payments from customers efficiently. This includes building APIs for processing payments, enabling regional, non-card payment options, and extending Stripe's capabilities to make it easy for businesses to accept in-person payments. Optimized Checkout and Link teams work to create best-in-class checkout experiences that enhance customer satisfaction and drive merchant conversion rates. The Risk Engineering team develops products that minimize financial and regulatory risks while ensuring a seamless user experience, thereby safeguarding Stripe’s brand and financial stability.

Collaborate effectively in a distributed and hybrid team, maintaining open communication and strong connections with colleagues

Who you are

Minimum requirements

2-12+ years of industry software engineering experience (does not include internships nor includes co-ops)
Strong coding skills in any programming language (we understand new languages can be learned on the job so our interview process is language agnostic)
Strong collaboration skills, can work across workstreams within your team and contribute to your peers’ success
Have the ability to thrive on a high level of autonomy, responsibility, and think of yourself as entrepreneurial
Interest in working as a generalist across varying technologies and stacks to solve problems and delight both internal and external users

Preferred Qualifications

- - Experience with large-scale financial tracking systems
  - Good understanding and practical knowledge in cloud based services (e.g. gRPC, GraphQL, Docker/Kubernetes, cloud services such as AWS, etc.)
