Remote job description

Stripe builds economic infrastructure for the internet. As the usage of cryptocurrency grows worldwide, it opens up new and exciting avenues for businesses and individuals to transact and create value. Many businesses and users already rely on and trust Stripe. This gives us a massive opportunity to be at the forefront of a new wave of innovation. Stripe was early in supporting the crypto community and helped businesses accept Bitcoin in 2014. Our users need better building blocks to accept payments, move funds, and exchange between fiat and crypto. By focusing on these problems, we aim to build faster, more trustworthy, and higher quality crypto-native experiences.

Crypto is a brand new team at Stripe. We're looking for engineers with prior experience in the cryptocurrency space who are invigorated by the opportunity to bring their existing expertise to benefit Stripe's users. As a backend engineer on the team, you will be asked to build crypto infrastructure, and build the bridge between Stripe systems and web3 infrastructure.

You will:

  • Design, build, and maintain core data models and internal APIs
  • 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

You may be a fit for this role if you:

  • Have experience developing in the cryptocurrency space in prior roles, both as a full-time job or on technically complex side projects
  • Have a history of collaborating with and participating in the cryptocurrency and web3 communities
  • Have experience building software and systems that strike the right balance amongst simplicity, flexibility, and safety. We work mostly in Ruby, with some Scala and Go. However, languages can be learned: we care much more about your general engineering skill than knowledge of a particular language or framework
  • 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
