Job summary

Stripe in Dublin, Ireland is seeking a software engineer to design and scale an AI-powered security platform. You will deliver source-traceable answers, build retrieval and content pipelines, and work with Security, Legal, and Privacy teams.

• Build the retrieval, content pipeline orchestration, and integration layers that off-the-shelf tooling cannot deliver, including support for multiple cloud environments and Stripe's full and growing product portfolio, so that answers stay accurate as Stripe's infrastructure and products evolve
• Build automations that keep security content current as Stripe rapidly adopts new technologies and introduces new controls, including automated refresh and review cycles that route content to subject-matter experts and Legal for validation
• Build the capability to manage industry-standard certifications and assessment frameworks, including the Shared Assessments SIG and the Cloud Security Alliance CAIQ
• Build analytics and evaluation capabilities that measure and continuously improve the performance and coverage of the security content library
• Extend the same platform and knowledge base to power a public and authenticated Trust Center, giving customers direct self-service access to Stripe's security, privacy, resilience, and compliance posture

Who we are

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

Security Business Enablement (SBE) is Stripe's commercial security function: the interface between Stripe's internal security program and its Go-to-Market organization. We make sure security and compliance requirements never block, delay, or devalue Stripe's deals.

This work is about customer trust: businesses entrust Stripe with critical financial infrastructure, and their security teams need confidence that Stripe meets rigorous standards before, during, and after the sale. We make that trust tangible with accurate, consistent evidence of Stripe's security posture.

We own security due diligence end to end: questionnaire response, compliance evidence, live security reviews, gap and exception management, contractual security exhibits, rapid response during industry-wide events, and executive briefings. We engage customers directly, up to CISO level, and equip sales teams to handle security conversations on their own.

Our scope is unusually broad: one assessment can span security, privacy, business continuity, and resilience, translating deep control detail into language procurement, legal, and a CISO can each act on. We are often the first team asked to represent emerging parts of Stripe's posture.

We work at the intersection of security, AI, and Go-to-Market. Our platform is built on authoritative grounding: answers are retrieved from a knowledge base we maintain and validate, not generated from first principles, so they are consistent and source-traceable. Our POC proved the concept and outgrew what agent builders alone can do; taking it to production quality is the engineering problem this role exists to solve.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum Requirements

• 2+ years of software engineering experience building production systems
• Strong coding skills in any programming language (we understand new languages can be learned on the job so our interview process is language agnostic)
• Comfort working with retrieval-augmented architectures, content pipelines, and AI/LLM integrations, or demonstrated ability to learn quickly in these areas
• Experience building workflow automation, including scheduled jobs, approval routing, and multi-stakeholder review processes
• Comfortable instrumenting systems and working with data to measure quality, coverage, and performance, then using those measurements to drive improvement
• Experience creating projects from scratch, taking ownership, and driving work to completion with minimal supervision
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with non-engineering stakeholders (security analysts, sales teams, legal)
• Seek out opportunities for impact and can execute in a complex, cross-functional environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building AI-driven products or workflows, particularly retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems or knowledge management platforms
• Experience building evaluation frameworks for AI systems, such as measuring retrieval quality, answer accuracy, or coverage gaps
• Familiarity with cloud security concepts across AWS and/or Azure
• Previous experience with security software engineering, compliance tooling, or GRC platforms
• Familiarity with security assessment frameworks and standards such as the Shared Assessments SIG, Cloud Security Alliance CAIQ, SOC 2, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001
• Experience with content management systems, structured content modeling, or documentation-as-code approaches
• Experience building customer-facing or internal self-service tools at scale
• Comfort working in a small team where individual contributions have outsized, visible impact

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

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is €85,000 - €127,600. This range may change if you are hired in another location. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you.
