Qualifications

• 8+ years of backend and/or full‑stack software development experience.

• Partner with Product, Design, Data Science, Risk, Infrastructure, and other Stripe teams to build capabilities that are safe, reliable, and useful.
• Navigate dependencies across Stripe’s payments and money‑movement platforms, making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, user experience, operational reliability, and durable technical foundations.
