Role
Who you are
- Knowledge of and experience with payment technologies and ecosystems
- Ability to write high quality code. We work mostly in Ruby and Java. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general coding skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework
- Comfort using SQL to navigate Stripe's data and diagnose the scope and urgency of issues
- Comfort with developer tools (e.g. git), and an ability to make well-scoped code changes in Stripe's codebase
- Adaptable and self-starting, demonstrating an ability to tackle complex, undefined problems and develop effective solutions in a self-directed manner
- Great technical problem-solving skills, with an ability to develop a working understanding of a technical system using a variety of methods. These include (but aren't limited to): reading/writing code, reading documentation or partner specifications, running debugging programs, reading logs, asking well-formed questions to domain experts, or digging into the raw data through various interfaces
- Great communication skills, with an ability to frame messages appropriately for technical and non-technical audiences
- The will to deliver results, with an ability to establish priorities and reliably execute on solutions (often with hard external deadlines)
- An instinct to produce work that increases the impact of others, and helps us scale and grow (e.g. documentation, tools)
What the job involves
- Technical Operations roles are one part coding and one part managing projects. The ideal candidate will have experience in both, but successful candidates may index more highly in one or the other
- Organize and direct complex technical changes as part of product releases and merchant migrations
- Identify and automate inefficient or unnecessary manual processes by making direct code changes, or coordinating more complex code changes across Stripe
- Handle inquiries from internal Stripes and external partners' technical teams with detailed investigation and sometimes code changes
- Design alerting systems using existing tools to respond to incidents quickly, or prevent them altogether
- Conduct data analysis to understand the impact of merchant configurations for Radar, and surface future product opportunities
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."
