Role
Who you are
- You have 2+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer
- You have an entrepreneurial mindset
- You enjoy data modeling challenges and have a high bar for keeping your solutions expressive yet simple to use
- Enjoy being a generalist designing and working on both the frontend and/or backend, and anything it takes to solve problems and delight users
- Take pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems
- Can stitch together many different services and processes together even if you have not worked with them before
- Can put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great experiences

What the job involves
- As an engineer on the team, you’ll be responsible for shaping and building a suite of products that let our users model and operate their business more efficiently
- We’re looking for engineers who are excited to build the future of hosted UIs, high-polish user experiences, reusable APIs and building blocks for our Billing, and world-class infrastructure
- Full stack engineers at Stripe push us further towards that goal by bridging the gap between backend and frontend systems to solve technical challenges quickly and effectively
- You will work on projects that span technologies, systems, and processes where you will design, build, test, and ship great code every day
- In this cross functional role, you will collaborate with experts in infrastructure, security, design, and operations to build mission critical internal and external features that power Stripe users around the world
- Work with a wide range of systems, processes and technologies to own and solve problems from end-to-end
- Work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to build new features and products
- Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to the many codebases and processes you will encounter
- Build elegant APIs and user experiences that enable merchants to run and scale their businesses on top of Stripe
- Contribute to the design and architecture of the next generation of Stripe’s infrastructure, to meet the high growth needs of our company and customers for years to come
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 payment 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 extending its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil, Japan and India. It is also partnering with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that is monetising OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhancing Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forward with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."
