Who you are
- 2+ years of industry backend, frontend, or fullstack engineering experience building end-to-end user solutions (does not include internships or co-ops)

What the job involves
- Stripe’s Developer Experience & Product Platform (DEeP) organization empowers all of Stripe's products with a shared product platform that helps with rapidly delivering high-quality, cross-product experiences across our UI and API surfaces

- Merchant Experience: This team builds much of the backend and frontend platform that powers the Stripe Dashboard
- Millions of businesses use the Dashboard every day to manage their operations, and thousands of Stripes build product experiences in the Dashboard to enable these businesses to succeed
- Organizations & Authentication Platform (OAP): This team is responsible for building Organizations, which allows merchants to effectively and centrally manage their businesses across multiple Stripe accounts
- It also maintains the authentication platform, which powers the authentication experience for the Stripe dashboard and all products hosted on it
- As Stripe continues to grow its suite of product offerings beyond payments, Organizations will unlock a new phase of growth for Stripe
- We will do this by enabling our platforms and businesses to model their complex businesses and distribute all of Stripe’s products to their end users
- Developer Platform: This team builds Stripe's API platform and external developer experience

- Help drive sound technical decision making and lead technical conversations with other teams across Stripe
- Debug production issues across services and various levels of the tech stack
Our take
Stripe, nowadays a FinTech giant, spent the first few years since its founding building up its payments business, which primarily consisted of providing an API to eCommerce businesses so that they could easily integrate a payments option in their apps or websites, where before there was none.
More recently, Stripe has started to accelerate its growth with a significantly larger range of financial services including cash advances and credit cards. They also plan to build incorporation services, fraud protection, and more, diversifying its revenue away from payments and differentiating itself from its competitors.
To further expand its position, the company is looking to triple its presence in Ireland, and extend its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil and India. Its latest venture, coming atop significant new funds, is to partner with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that will monetize OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhance Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forwards with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."
