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.

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.
