Staff Data Analyst, Stripe

• 10+ years of experience in Data Analysis, Analytics Engineering, Business Intelligence Engineering, or Data Science roles — building data infrastructure, defining metrics, and solving complex analytical problems at scale
• Deep expertise in SQL, including demonstrated ability to optimize complex queries, debug data pipelines, and work across large, distributed datasets
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code or equivalent) to accelerate data work, automate repetitive tasks, and improve analytical productivity
• Proven track record of setting long-term technical vision for analytics platforms — not just executing within them, but shaping their architecture, governance, and adoption strategy
• Expertise in warehouse design and metrics infrastructure: schema design, metric layer integration, performance optimization, and building data products that are consistent and trustworthy at scale
• Experience leading cross-team or org-wide data initiatives that materially improved data quality, consistency, or accessibility for a broad set of stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to raise the technical bar for teams around you — through mentorship, architecture reviews, standards setting, or building shared tooling that others adopt
• Strong communication and influence skills: ability to align senior leaders and cross-functional partners on technical direction, and to communicate complex data problems and recommendations clearly
• Comfortable operating across organizational boundaries: proven ability to identify data analytics problems that span multiple teams and drive solutions with technical rigor

Desirable

• Data Science at Stripe is a vibrant community where data analysts, data scientists, and engineers learn and grow together
• In this role, you will join the team focused on strengthening Stripe's analytics foundation across the company — setting the technical direction for how analytical data is modeled, stored, governed, and served at scale
• This is an infrastructure and platform role, not a business analytics role
• You will operate as a technical leader who shapes the systems, standards, and practices that every analyst and data consumer at Stripe depends on
• Lead architecture reviews and set analytical standards. Own the strategy, technical architecture, and governance model for platforms that make key business metrics consistent, trustworthy, and easy to query at scale. Define and enforce how analytical data is modeled, stored, and served across the company
• Own the hardest cross-cutting analytical problems. Tackle the most complex, multi-team data challenges — problems that require going arbitrarily deep into unfamiliar domains and coordinating solutions across organizational boundaries
• Drive org-wide data quality and consistency. Lead critical data quality initiatives that support executive- and board-level decision-making. Ensure that the metrics and data products used to run the business are reliable, well-defined, and widely adopted
• Shape long-term technical vision. Define a multi-year roadmap for analytics infrastructure, including warehouse design, schema standards, metric integration, real-time analytics systems, and performance optimization — not just executing within these systems, but determining their direction
• Raise the technical bar across teams. Uplevel the quality of analytical work through mentorship, architecture reviews, standards setting, and building shared tooling and frameworks that other analysts adopt and depend on
• Translate business needs into technical solutions. Partner deeply with leaders across Stripe to identify the highest-priority data problems, then deliver scalable, well-governed solutions with clear adoption plans and measurable impact
