Stripe's infrastructure powers businesses all over the world. We process payments, run marketplaces, help entrepreneurs start an internet business from anywhere in the world, and more. Infrastructure engineers at Stripe build the systems that power all of our products, globally and at scale.

Our users trust us with their businesses and livelihoods, and every request that Stripe handles is critical. We process billions of dollars every year for millions of users, from the largest enterprises to a startup making the first sale. We invest deeply in the reliability and security of our infrastructure to earn their trust.

You will join one of the teams behind the Compliance Platform used by engineering, security, and business partners at Stripe. You will build front-end applications, APIs, and services to provide engaging and smooth experiences for users. You will build solutions that may be "from scratch", built on top of in-house platforms, or leveraging 3rd party solutions. We partner closely with internal teams, and business partners representing end customers. We are a highly effective team, consistently delivering high-impact results while genuinely caring for each other. Our "compliance-as-code", API-first platform accelerates Stripe's ability to meet compliance requirements in current and future markets, enabling Stripe to be efficient and expand faster.

We're looking for people with a strong background (or interest!) in internal or business tools with a potential focus on topics such as productivity, collaboration, and efficiency. We'd love to hear from you whether you've been working in the compliance or productivity space your whole career, or have just started learning about compliance engineering and collaboration tools through a recent project.

You will:

Design, build and maintain workflow management tools for security and compliance users at Stripe
Integrate with internal system to improve day-to-day workflows and operations for engineers and program managers
Build out user interfaces encompassing workflows and data visualizations
Partner with other Compliance Platform teams to define product roadmap for team partners and external customers
Build a great customer experience for developers and business partners using your products

We're looking for someone who has:

Experience or interest in building business-supporting products centered around users' needs
A strong technical background gained through education or on-the-job experiences
Interest in optimizing the reliability, security, and compliance of distributed systems
Ability to work effectively with a diverse group of people, genuinely caring for each other and contributing to high level of psychological safety for all team members and partners
Problem-solving skills, determination, and a growth mindset

It's not expected that you'll have deep expertise in every dimension above, but you should be interested in learning any of the areas that are less familiar.

What's it like to work at Stripe?

Stripe is helping the internet fulfill its potential as a platform for economic progress by building software tools that accelerate global economic access and technological development. Stripe makes it easy to start, run and scale an internet business from anywhere in the world.

Stripe is, at its heart, an engineering company. To provide a missing pillar of core internet infrastructure, we hire people with a broad set of technical skills (and from a wide variety of backgrounds) who are ready to take on some of the most challenging problems in the industry - from reliably handling 100M API requests per day, to building adaptive machine learning as a result of years of data science and infrastructure work, and enabling entrepreneurs worldwide to start a global internet business.

We look at Stripe as a constant work in progress and the same is true of our people; for all of us, we believe the best is yet to come. We're here to support each other in our curiosity and creativity - which we pursue through thoughtful discussion and knowledge-sharing among a diverse set of peers and colleagues.

We encourage all engineers to transition teams once every year and a half and also take on short-term projects with other teams across Stripe. This enables engineers to learn how different parts of Stripe work while also establishing stronger ties and cross-pollination between groups.

We contribute to existing open-source projects and the people working on them, and we release several tools as open-source.

We want to work in a company of warm, inclusive people who treat their colleagues exceptionally well. The kind of people who are committed to going out of their way to help other Stripes in the short-term and pushing them to improve over the long-term (by helping them to get better at what they do).

We're a highly cross-functional organization and view that as part of the fun: we design our space to encourage as much collaboration as possible. We have long tables in the kitchen for a reason (to enable everyone to meet new people and learn from them). We also have a culture of transparency that we carry through to email communication, ensuring that Stripes all around the world have the information they need to make good local decisions.

In both our products and our people, we aim to reflect, represent and advocate for all of our users, globally. Our users transcend geography, culture and language; what we share, collectively, is a drive to create a fairer, more economically interconnected world.
