Software Engineer, Stripe

• Have delivered, extended, and maintained large scale distributed systems
• Love to design systems that are elegant abstractions over complex patterns/practices, especially in the financial industry
• Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems
• Take pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems
• Think about systems, services, and platforms, and write high quality code. We work mostly in Java, Scala, and Ruby. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts
• Enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different expertise (for example, ¼ of Stripes work in a country that’s different from the one they grew up in)

• Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
