Who we are
About Stripe
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About The Team
Stripe Infrastructure is responsible for the reliability, scale, performance, and cost of Stripe's systems and the productivity and sentiment of Stripe's people. You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including
- Core Infrastructure—We're the home for Stripe's critical tier-0 infrastructure systems (Compute, Networking, DocumentDB, Distributed Caching, and High assurance engineering). We build the foundational platform for Stripe products and services to allow them to operate at scale. We drive reliability, availability, efficiency, and scalability of these systems.
- Developer Infrastructure—We're responsible for the productivity of all developers at Stripe. We ensure Stripe's engineers have a reliable inner dev loop to maximize productivity while building everything from low-latency microservices to large-scale data pipelines and machine learning models.
- Security—We're a newly formed security team tasked with building the guardrails to extend Stripe's secure platform, allowing engineers to leverage new technologies that best meet their needs. We work on enabling new technologies for product and platform teams, prioritizing business needs as well as building the tooling and controls that further enable self-serve, guaranteeing we maintain a high bar across all Stripe surfaces with security in-built into foundations.
- Application and Revenue Platform—We build the powerful and scalable infrastructure that powers the company's application offerings and supports the processing and management of global transaction volumes.
Team Matching—exact team matching for one of the sub-teams within one of these organizations will begin during final stages. Please note we may also consider you for different organizations based on your experience, location, etc.

- Ability to write well-factored algorithms and experience with commonly used data structures and algorithms
- Hands-on experience contributing to or building large-scale distributed systems
- Strong coding skills in any programming language (we understand engineers learn new languages on the job, so our interview process is language agnostic)

In-office expectations
Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
Pay and benefits
Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
