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

The Revenue and Financial Automation (RFA) organization at Stripe is building a modern, revenue-focused, financial management platform for fast-growing, digital-native companies.

Hundreds of thousands of businesses of all sizes and types use Stripe Billing to collect revenue for recurring and one-time payments across a variety of different pricing models—from selling SaaS subscriptions, to orchestrating multi-stage contracts, delivering Usage-Based Billing, and providing recovery and retention tools to prevent customer churn.

What you'll do

As an engineer on the team, you'll be responsible for shaping and building a suite of products that let our users model and operate their business more efficiently. You'll work on projects that span technologies, systems, and processes where you'll design, build, test, and ship code every day. In this cross-functional role, you'll collaborate with experts in infrastructure, security, design, and operations to build business-critical internal and external features that power Stripe users around the world.

Responsibilities

• Design the next generation of Stripe products to meet the high-growth needs of our company and customers for years to come
• Deliver value through a strong collaborative, user-first approach with stakeholders and customers
• Mentor engineers to help them grow
• Debug and solve critical production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack

Minimum Requirements

• 4-12+ years of experience in backend or platform software development
• Ability to write high-quality code (in programming languages like Go, Java, C/C++, etc.)
• Hands-on experience contributing to or building large-scale distributed systems
• Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work across work streams within your team and contribute to your peers' success
• Ability to thrive with a high level of autonomy and responsibility, with an entrepreneurial mindset

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with event-driven architectures
• Experience with subscription management, usage-based billing, or financial reporting systems
• Interest in financial infrastructure and how businesses manage their revenue operations
• Direct leadership and mentorship experience

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 $190,400 - $285,600. 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.

• equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

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.
