Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of software development experience, with an emphasis on modern frontend technologies (HTML/CSS/TypeScript/React) and building delightful user interfaces

- Are motivated by solving hard problems, and measure your success in terms of impact doing so
- Thrive in a highly collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts
- Enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different areas of expertise
What the job involves
- We’re looking for Frontend engineers who are interested in building consumer-focused UIs and full-stack products that impact thousands of employees and millions of Stripe users, regardless of whether they’re an end user, developer, or partner
- Work with a wide range of systems, processes, and technologies to own and solve problems from end-to-end
- Build elegant APIs and user experiences that enable merchants to run and scale their businesses on top of Stripe
- Craft new products and features that impact millions of people and businesses around the world such as building the fastest and most seamless checkout flow
- Explore creative opportunities for next-gen payments experiences that leverage the depth of Stripe’s payment technology
- Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization such as product, design, infrastructure, marketing and operations
- Develop and execute against both short- and long-term roadmaps. Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
- Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to the many codebases and processes you will encounter
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."
