Company mission

To increase the GDP of the internet

Role

Who you are

  • 3+ years of experience building back-end distributed systems, data processing systems, or front-end applications
  • You have excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • You enjoy learning about the businesses that use Stripe and building products to help them solve their problems
  • You work collaboratively cross-functionally and with stakeholders across teams and organization boundaries
  • You have experience mentoring junior engineers
  • You value and enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different expertise

Desirable

  • Familiarity with large scale distributed systems or big data processing systems
  • Experience working in high-growth teams similar to Stripe
  • Experience building financial systems or tools for financial experts

What the job involves

  • 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

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."

Company values

  • Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
  • An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
  • Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
  • Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
