Desirable

• In this role, you will be joining the High Availability and Disaster Recovery team
• At Stripe, availability is a core feature of our products
• This team designs and builds new solutions to allow latency-critical, stateful applications to survive any type of disaster
• We build distributed systems on top of unreliable architecture to provide highly available and resilient customer solutions
• This team is creating greenfield solutions which will serve as the basis for Stripe’s architecture 5, 10, or 20 years into the future
• This is a distributed team with many remote engineers. You are encouraged to apply if you meet the minimum requirements and are able to work from anywhere in the United States or Canada
• You will help develop our global architecture by combining less-available components and data centers into a highly available and resilient whole
• You will work on latency-critical solutions where every millisecond matters and data redundancy is a hard requirement
• You will learn quickly and work on a broad range of problems - one day may be investigating Mongo write concerns, the next may be minimizing cross-region TLS handshakes, followed by developing new systems to automate disaster detection and failovers
• Your work will enable Stripe to increase the GDP of the internet by providing uptime and data protection which have historically been impossible
• Lead and manage a team of talented engineers on the team, providing mentorship, guidance, and support to ensure their success
• Drive the execution of projects, overseeing the entire development lifecycle from planning to delivery, while maintaining high standards of quality and timely completion
• Help influence peers / managers and build consensus while dealing with ambiguity
• Build your team - formalizing role definitions, defining charter and ownership boundaries and taking a newly formed team into a high-functioning one
