Job description

Who we are

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

In this role, you would join Stripe's Security Analytics Infrastructure team. Our mission is to enable Stripe’s detection and response by generating, centralizing, and organizing security data through simple, reliable pipelines and providing a platform of core security systems. We also undertake experimental, bespoke projects that close Stripe‑specific security gaps and accelerate outcomes for our partner teams.

What you’ll do

As a Software Engineer on this team, you will use your blend of security and software engineering expertise to build and support our key services including a SIEM, SOAR, endpoint detection & response, server observability, threat intel platform and AI infrastructure. You’ll work closely with partner teams working in multiple program areas of cyber defense, including cyber intelligence, threat detection, vulnerability management, secure devices and compliance. Overall you’ll help ensure that we have the right data in the right place at the right time for our users.

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.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain services and dataflows related to our security analytics platform
• Collaborate with other teams to drive improvements to processes our platform supports
• Continuously improve our security posture, processes, and tools

Minimum requirements

• 5+ years software engineering experience in a high‑stakes production environment
• Significant experience in applying software engineering in the cybersecurity field
• Experience in applying AI tooling in this space (e.g. Claude Code, agent‑based approaches, etc)
• Empathy, strong communication skills and a deep respect for the power of collaboration
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
• High standards for code quality and a constructive attitude to help others raise the bar

Preferred qualifications

• Go & Python experience
• An ability to think creatively and holistically about reducing risk in a complex environment
• Previous experience in a regulated industry (e.g., financial services, healthcare)

By joining our team, you will have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach, securely.

Remote location definition

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.

Salary and Benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $179,000 - $268,400. 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.
