You will:

• Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems across Stripe’s engineering teams
• Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
• Work with engineers across the company to build new features at large-scale
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes

Who you are

It’s not expected that any single candidate would have expertise across all of these areas. For instance, we have wonderful team members who are really focused on their customers’ needs and building amazing user experiences, but didn’t work on APIs before joining Stripe.

Minimum requirements

• You have a strong technical background with 4-10 years of technical experience building APIs.
• Think about systems and services and write high quality code.
• Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems.
• Take pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts.
• Enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different expertise (for example, ¼ of Stripes work in a country that’s different from the one they grew up in). Almost every role at Stripe collaborates with some engineers, from Sales and Support in sharing feedback from our customers; to Legal and Accounting in supporting our systems for tracking money movement and reporting around the world.

Preferred qualifications

• Domain expertise in accounting or financial management is a plus but not at all a requirement
