About Stripe

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

Stripe’s Professional Services team works with our most strategic users, delivering excellence and enabling our users to succeed with Stripe. This role sits within our new Forward Deployed Engineering team, which takes the evolution of our consulting services behind the keyboard by directly building and delivering software for our users. As a brand new offering from Stripe, we work directly with Stripe's users to build scalable Stripe integrations and standalone applications.

What you’ll do

In this role, you will work closely with Stripe’s Product & Engineering team to help shape the features that extend beyond what’s possible out of the box with Stripe integrations. You may be building standalone applications that are deployed in user environments, developing priority features within Stripe's ecosystem, or augmenting existing development staff for our users to deliver faster and more resilient connections to Stripe.

While maintenance is part of the work, you'll often be starting new and exciting projects. Since this is a new team at Stripe, you'll succeed if you get excited about driving direction and taking ownership of your work.

Responsibilities

• Design and architect robust technical solutions, ensuring they are secure, scalable, and aligned with customer needs
• Design, build, and deploy production applications that combine user business logic, Stripe best practices, and user-facing interfaces
• Collaborate directly with internal and external stakeholders, bridging the gap between technical teams and executives
• Drive the direction of the new Forward Deployed Engineering arm at Stripe and contribute to technical projects
• Engage directly with users to deeply understand challenges, requirements, and co-develop solutions,
• Contribute tooling, frameworks, and best practices that scale impact across accounts

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

• 10+ years of professional, hands-on full-stack development experience with languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Ruby, Go, or Java
• Experience with backend infrastructure and building systems that scale
• Demonstrated ability to design, build, and deploy production applications
• Excellence at rapid prototyping while maintaining appropriate quality standards
• Familiarity with containerized applications and object-oriented programming languages
• Superb problem-solving skills and the ability to understand the product and business side of development

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working as a software consultant
• Strong command of distributed systems, API design, and data modeling
• Familiarity working with AI APIs and leveraging AI code generation tools to accelerate productivity
• Proven track record of delivering technical solutions in enterprise environments that drive measurable outcomes
• A passion for handling ambiguity and picking up new technologies, frameworks, and tools while working in a variety of client environments

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $204,200 - $306,400. 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 location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you.

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
