• Revenue Recognition is a crucial component of how companies evaluate their fiscal health and make decisions
• Stripe Revenue Recognition tools enable accountants to automate understanding the impact of complex financial scenarios and avoid manual work, reduce errors, and get to accurate reports faster than ever before
• Stripe Revenue Recognition is part of Stripe’s Revenue and Finance Automation (RFA) suite that gives businesses power over the entire life cycle of their cash flow
• By coordinating billing, tax, reporting, and data services in one modern stack, Stripe’s revenue and finance automation suite eliminates the inefficiencies of legacy finance tools and supports revenue growth
• While the internet has been a boon to productivity, the gains have been uneven. Common financial processes like billing, tax, and quarterly reporting are still painfully inefficient and manual
• They’re also typically spread across a dozen or more software tools
• The result: one-third of finance leaders reopen their books at least once a quarter because of accounting errors, and half spend 10 hours a month manually correcting discrepancies
• Stripe’s RFA suite relieves those burdens by equipping finance leaders with revenue management tools that are as sophisticated as the businesses they run
• The suite automates manual work and improves accuracy across the cash flow life cycle, from payments and billing to tax, reporting, and reconciliation
• We are seeking an experienced full stack engineer to join our team to build products that will streamline and automate common accounting tasks for Stripe customers from new venture-backed startups up to some of the biggest household names
• Scope, architect, and lead technical projects to improve on existing features and solve new problems
• Design, build, and maintain user-facing experiences, services, APIs, and systems
• Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
• Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
• Develop and execute against both short- and long-term roadmaps
• Teach and mentor engineers to grow into the next generation of leaders at Stripe
• Partner with engineers and product managers on infrastructure and other product teams to ensure your features are part of an integrated Stripe suite
• Establish and uphold best practices in engineering, security, and technical design
