Who we are
About StripeStripe 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 TeamIn this role, you'd be joining the Alloy Integrations team. We own how Metronome's customers collect payments and recognize revenue. We build and run the integrations that connect Metronome's usage-based billing platform to the systems businesses depend on to get paid: Stripe invoicing and payments, cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud), ERP systems like NetSuite and QuickBooks, and CRM systems like Salesforce. We also bring Stripe products such as Checkout into Metronome, so customers can move from contract to cash in one place.
Our Team Helps Stripe Increase The GDP Of The Internet By Making Sure Every Invoice Reaches The Right System And Every Payment Is Collected And Accounted For Correctly, At Scale. We Focus On Two Areas

• Invoicing: collection, dunning, and invoice delivery
• Quote-to-cash automation: connecting the full journey from a signed deal to recognized revenue

What you'll do
You’ll build and operate distributed systems that move billing data between Metronome and the platforms our customers use to run their finances. The work combines product engineering and reliability. You’ll ship features that customers ask for directly, and you’ll strengthen the event-driven pipelines that handle large invoicing spikes every month-end.
You’ll work closely with our product manager, with partner engineering teams that own contracts, usage rating, and invoice finalization, with solutions architects who build ERP integrations with customers, and with technical support engineers who work with customers every day. In your first few months, you’ll ship a customer-facing improvement to one of our integrations, join the on-call rotation, and take ownership of one of our core systems.
Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain integrations between Metronome and external billing, payments, marketplace, ERP, and CRM platforms
• Build reliable, event-driven systems for invoice delivery, payment workflows, and status sync, with safe retries, rollbacks, and reconciliation
• Ship features that help customers control how they invoice, collect, and account for revenue, from design through launch
• Improve observability and automated repair across our systems so problems are caught and fixed before customers notice them
• Participate in an on-call rotation and lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and follow-up work for the systems the team owns
• Plan and carry out migrations and changes to existing integrations without disrupting customer billing
• Partner with product, support, solutions architecture, and other engineering teams to scope work and represent customer needs

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

• This is a Staff level role, so we typically target 10+ years of professional experience building and operating backend systems in production
• Experience designing and integrating with third-party APIs, including handling failures, retries, and data consistency across systems
• Experience with distributed or event-driven systems, such as message queues, streams, or workflow engines
• Experience owning services in production, including monitoring, on-call, and incident response
• Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to engineers and to people outside engineering

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with billing, invoicing, payments, tax, or other financial systems where correctness matters
• Experience with AWS serverless and data services such as Lambda, Kinesis, SQS, or Step Functions
• Familiarity with ERP or CRM platforms such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Salesforce, or with cloud marketplace billing
• Experience with GraphQL APIs and relational databases such as Postgres
• Experience leading cross-team projects or large migrations

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 $224,000 - $336,000. 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.
