Software Engineer, Stripe

• A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in computer science or a directly related field, obtained by summer 2026, or equivalent work experience
• Some experience and familiarity with programming, either through side projects or classwork. We work mostly in Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Scala, and Go. We believe new programming languages can be learned if the fundamentals and general knowledge are present
• Experience from either previous internships or working collaboratively on multi-person coding projects (in a university or professional setting)
• Ability to learn unfamiliar systems and form an understanding of those systems, through independent research and working with a mentor and subject matter experts

• For any given project, we have one person on point

• We launch betas and prototypes as early as we can
• This helps ensure that we're building what users actually want
• We contribute back to the community, often by building things we think are cool and by releasing
• Work on cross-functional projects, directly collaborating with other engineers
• Give meaningful feedback on code reviews and technical designs
• Ensure that the systems your team operates continue running well and can scale to meet the needs of our users
