Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in full time software development roles
- You can work effectively across the stack from top to bottom, comfortably navigating codebases with different languages and tools
- You’re self-directed and can operate autonomously across multiple teams to deliver scaled impact
- Experience as a technical lead, including defining the roadmap for complex projects spanning multiple teams and functions
- Experience mentoring and growing senior engineers as their technical leader
Desirable
- 10+ years of experience in full time software development roles
- You have a strong technical background, including 8+ years of experience designing and engineering products and user surfaces for high-impact products
- Experience with experimentation
- Experience with data-driven decision making
What the job involves
- Invoicing team members have the opportunity to design for a product that also serves as a platform
- Invoicing is not only directly used by Stripe users to calculate, manage, and collect structured payments, but is also used by every product in Stripe Billing to facilitate payments and serves as the integration point for other Stripe products into Stripe Billing
- We are looking for a Staff Engineer who is passionate about designing systems and APIs that provide both ease-of-use and the composability needed to solve complicated business use cases and the growing library of functionality available through Stripe
- You will work closely with users to build the product for their needs and across internal teams at Stripe to build features that compound on our shared strengths
- Help build our next generation Invoicing primitives that will power many higher order APIs
- Lead by example in designing, developing and delivering optimized, delightful product experiences
- Partner closely with engineering, product, and design leadership to define our product-led growth strategy
- Establish best practices, frameworks, and repeatable processes that enable us to measure the impact of every feature that we ship
- Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
- Develop and lead the team to execute against both short-term and long-term roadmaps
- Work in a variety of languages and technologies, including Ruby, Java and Typescript
- Mentor and coach individual contributors to become the next generation of leaders at Stripe
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."
