Who you are
- We’re looking for Frontend engineers who are interested in building software services and platforms that impact thousands of employees and millions of Stripe users, regardless of whether they’re an end user, developer, or partner
- 2-12+ years of industry software engineering experience (does not include internships nor includes co-ops)
- You are an expert at building web applications using HTML, CSS, and at least one JavaScript framework like React.js, AngularJS or Backbone.js
- You have implemented server-side APIs in dynamic languages like Ruby, working with document and relational datastores (especially Mongo and MySQL)
- You enjoy spelunking through new datasets (especially in systems like Redshift or Presto/Trino)
- You have a deep understanding of usability issues in web applications
- You have excellent oral and written communication
- You have proven ability to thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts
What the job involves
- Our Growth team is on a mission to acquire, convert and grow millions of merchants globally across Stripe’s full suite of financial products
- We are a cross functional team of engineers, scientists, marketers, designers and product managers that deliver the insights, algorithms, internal systems and tools, and user-facing experiences that fuel Stripe’s growth
- In short we make it easy for people to act on their interest in Stripe
- As part of the Growth Engineering team, you will build and own the systems, products, internal tools, and customer-facing experiences that power intelligence behind our go-to-market and product-led growth
- This includes building our ML powered recommendations and growth experimentation engine(s), multi-channel notifications systems, and key growth-related customer experiences (e.g., onboarding experiences, user dashboards, product recommendations)
- Team Matching: exact team matching for one of the subteams will begin during final stages
- Please note we may also consider you for different orgs based on your experience, location, etc
- More information on our team matching process can be found here
- Partner closely with other engineers and scientists to build highly scalable, ML driven system(s), help run experiments, and surface insights across all points of customer interactions
- Create beautiful web surfaces and interactive dashboard experiences using technologies such as React, JavaScript, CSS and GraphQL. Build the APIs that power these experiences, defining composable data models and durable interfaces
- Scope, design, and lead technical projects, laying the groundwork for early-stage products to iteratively evolve and scale
- Ensure our UI components and libraries are reliable, secure, extensible and accessible
- Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack with an eye towards improving maintainability over the long term
- Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes
- Interact with product and business leaders to help develop and execute on a data-first growth strategy that scales with 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."
