Job summary

Stripe is seeking a Staff Full Stack Engineer to lead the design and delivery of new consumer capabilities in Link. The ideal candidate will combine technical depth across the stack with a strong product sense, turning ambiguous opportunities into shipped features.

This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with cross-functional scope, owning large projects from definition through launch, building services, APIs and UI, and guiding architectural decisions to balance quality with speed.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience.
• Demonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of large, complex software projects from early definition through production launch.
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences.
• Experience leading and unblocking a group of engineers on a substantial project as a senior individual contributor.
• Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments: framing problems, making durable 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

• Define and drive technical strategy across Link Consumer, connecting near-term product delivery to a cohesive, durable engineering vision.
• Lead large, ambiguous 0→1 initiatives from problem definition and architecture through implementation, safe launch, and iteration.
• Design, build, and maintain polished user experiences, reliable backend services, APIs, and systems.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and foundational investments early, creating incremental plans that de-risk the roadmap and accelerate future work.
• Partner with engineering teams across Stripe, building alignment and influencing their roadmaps and priorities when Link Consumer depends on shared capabilities.
• Champion pragmatic solutions and code patterns throughout our codebase, setting standards in React/JavaScript/CSS/GraphQL as well as Ruby APIs and LLM-powered systems
• Ensure our UI and backend components are reliable, secure, extensible, and accessible
• Define operational processes and lead response to production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack, growing the learning and retrospective culture on our team and driving remediations that reduce risk
