Role
Who you are
- Have 2+ years of industry Software Engineering experience
- Enjoy and have experience building scalable backend infrastructure
- Write high quality code. We work in Scala, Java, and Ruby. Languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework
Desirable
- Have experience in Java, Scala (Spark), or Ruby
- Have experience in solving business problems. We focus on Tax and Invoicing working closely with accountants and tax experts
What the job involves
- You will have direct business impact in some of Stripe’s most mission critical business domains, focusing on Tax and Invoicing
- You will work closely with many internal stakeholders, such as Tax, Accounting, Regulatory Reporting, Treasury, and Business Operations
- Design, build, and maintain large-scale low-latency services and data pipelines for customers that produce or consume financial data at Stripe
- Build watertight controls across data flows to ensure super high accuracy for all transactions (trillions of dollars)
- Ensure accurate, reliable, and timely reporting delivered to a single source-of-truth data warehouse
- Work collaboratively on projects that span multiple engineering groups, across multiple functions (engineering, TPM, product, business), and involving different business stakeholders such as internal regulatory & tax experts, financial crimes investigators, accountants, and more
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.
