AI-Native Full-Stack Engineer: Build Faster, Safer Products

Stripe; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Stripe is seeking product-minded engineers for the Builder Experience Team to rethink how products get built and shipped. You’ll prototype AI-driven workflows, join cross-functional collaboration, and scale the strongest experiments to production across product teams.

You’ll operate across the stack, blending traditional software engineering with AI capabilities, with a focus on security, privacy, and user trust while shaping foundational practices for experimentation and quality at Stripe.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience.
• Demonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of new product experiences from prototype to production.
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences.
• Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments: framing problems, experimenting & adjusting, making right-sized technical decisions, and creating an actionable path forward.
• Excellent cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration skills, with the ability to align teams with different systems, priorities, and constraints.
• Strong engineering judgment around system reliability, operational excellence, security, and maintainability.
• A product-minded approach to engineering, with a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for users and the business.

Responsibilities

• Design and build tools that help Stripe teams shape better products, ship with greater speed and confidence, and learn from users more quickly.
• Develop AI-native workflows and agents that synthesize context, automate repetitive work, surface risks, and help builders make better decisions.
• Own projects end to end: identify high-value problems, develop prototypes, test them with users, measure their impact, and scale the approaches that work.
• Work across backend systems, data sources, internal platforms, and polished user-facing experiences.
• Partner directly with product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, and cross-functional teams to understand how work happens in practice.
• Integrate with platforms such as Kai and Compass while identifying where new foundational capabilities are needed.
• Apply strong judgment to the use of sensitive internal context, including appropriate attention to security, privacy, permissions, and user trust.
• Help define how the team operates, including its technical foundations, product-development practices, and standards for experimentation and quality.
• Contribute to the team’s roadmap by identifying systemic sources of friction and opportunities to improve Stripe’s product-development lifecycle.
