Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of professional experience in a software development role
- You can work effectively across the stack from top to bottom, comfortably navigating codebases with different languages and tools
- You’re equally as comfortable shipping user-facing experiences as you are writing custom queries to analyze experiment results
- You’re self-directed and can operate autonomously to deliver scaled impact
- Have experience acting as domain expert/technical steward within a team, as well as setting technical direction/roadmap for core areas of a team’s scope
Desirable
- Experience working in high-growth teams similar to Stripe
- Experience building financial systems or tools for financial experts
What the job involves
- Stripe’s Payments and Risk organizations are at the heart of Stripe’s business. They are responsible for enabling our users to accept payments worldwide, in a secure and reliable fashion
- You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including:
- Optimized Checkout & Link: The Optimized Checkout and Link teams focus on building best-in-class checkout experiences that provide delightful checkout experiences for customers, while driving higher purchase conversion for merchants
- As an organization, we work on Checkout, Payment Links, Elements, Payment Methods, and Link – each playing a crucial part in augmenting the economic landscape of the internet
- Risk: Risk Engineering develops products that reduce Stripe's financial and regulatory risk at scale while maintaining an excellent user experience
- We ensure user compliance with regulatory and partner requirements, protecting both Stripe's brand and financial stability - by building both user-facing products and backend systems
- Identity: The Identity team is responsible for ensuring that businesses can digitally verify their users for fraud, regulatory and trust & safety purposes
- We provide the Stripe Identity product, which automates KYC verification for merchants and platforms
- Payins: The Payins organization oversees the fundamental primitives of collecting payments across the Stripe ecosystem
- Custodians of mission-critical foundations, and stewards of essential administrative payment workflows, merchants rely on us to innovate on the fundamentals
- We act as catalysts towards realizing Stripe’s flexible and extensible multi-product platform
- As a full-stack 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, and APIs
- Full-stack engineers at Stripe bridge 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 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.
