Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a full stack engineer who is passionate about building user facing experiences spanning both the frontend stack and backend platform to solve critical business problems for Stripe Merchants
- 3+ years of full stack engineering experience building end-to-end user solutions
- Mastery of one or more programming languages such as Ruby, Python, or Go, and frontend experience with React and either Typescript or Javascript
- Experience debugging complex problems across the whole stack
- Thrive in a collaborative environment involving engineers, designers, and others to identify high-impact ways of solving problems quickly
- Excellent oral and written communication
Desirable
- You strive for simple solutions and designs over complex ones, and have a good intuition for what will last and scale well
- Experience building scalable, resilient, and observable systems while understanding UX best practices for the frontend
- You can put yourself in the shoes of your users to understand their needs and fit that into the bigger picture
- Experience with building software for fellow developers
- You stitch together many different services and processes, even if you have not worked with them before
What the job involves
- The Stripe Dashboard is the primary way that merchants manage their Stripe accounts with a web browser
- The Dashboard Foundation team is building the backend and frontend platform that powers many parts of the Dashboard
- Not only does the team drive new capabilities for merchants, but it also works closely with many internal teams and organizations to make their features possible
- The team is composed of engineers and designers, and often works with data scientists, technical program managers, and others
- As a full stack engineer on the Dashboard Foundation team, you’ll build platform-level capabilities for the Stripe Dashboard, elevating the experience for every merchant
- By creating and expanding these platform capabilities, you’ll make the page-to-page and product-to-product experience in the Dashboard support the ever-changing needs of merchants for years to come
- And on top of that, you’ll accelerate other teams at Stripe by enabling them to focus on their unique goals without needing to think about platform-level concerns
- Build software services and platforms that impact millions of Stripe users, whether they’re an end user, developer, or partner
- Ensure our platforms are reliable, scalable, secure, and extensible
- Shape future-proof interfaces that are easy to build against
- Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
- Help drive sound technical decision making and lead technical conversations with other teams across Stripe
- Debug production issues across services and levels of the 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."

Company values
- Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
- An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
- Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
- Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
