Role

Who you are

  • You will excel in this role if you’re a growth-focused full stack engineer who can collaborate effectively across multiple teams and functions to deliver results
  • 3+ years of experience as in full time software development roles
  • An understanding of A/B testing techniques and experimentation methodologies
  • You can work effectively across the stack from top to bottom, comfortably navigating codebases with different languages and tools
  • You’re equally as comfortable shipping user-facing experiences as you are writing custom queries to analyze experiment results

Desirable

  • You’re self-directed and can operate autonomously across multiple teams to deliver scaled impact
  • 5+ years of experience in full time software development roles
  • 2+ years of experience working in a growth-focused role or team
  • Experience with machine learning, recommender systems, product-led growth, and/or lifecycle marketing

What the job involves

  • As part of the RFA Growth Engineering team, you will build and own the systems, products, internal tools, and customer-facing experiences that power intelligence behind our go-to-market and product-led growth
  • This includes building our ML powered recommendations and growth experimentation engine(s), multi-channel notifications systems, and key growth-related customer experiences (e.g., onboarding experiences, user dashboards, product recommendations)
  • We’re looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to join our team and lead initiatives focused on accelerating the growth of Stripe’s Revenue and Finance Automation suite
  • In this role, you will be responsible for defining and implementing data-driven strategies to improve user acquisition, adoption, and retention across many of Stripe’s user-facing surfaces
  • You will help foster a culture of experimentation and data-driven decision making, and define best practices that enable the team to iterate and learn in increasingly tight feedback loops
  • Design and implement experiments across Stripe products, including the Stripe dashboard, hosted surfaces, and docs
  • Partner closely with engineering, product, and design leadership to define and implement our growth and experimentation strategy
  • Foster a culture of experimentation and data-driven decision making on the team and the broader organization
  • Build a deep understanding of our data, and identify opportunities to track additional metrics or build new data pipelines to further operationalize growth
  • Work in a variety of languages and technologies, including Ruby, Java, Typescript, React, and GraphQL

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Stripe, nowadays a FinTech giant, spent the first few years since its founding building up its payments business, which primarily consisted of providing an API to eCommerce businesses so that they could easily integrate a payments option in their apps or websites, where before there was none.

More recently, Stripe has started to accelerate its growth with a significantly larger range of financial services including cash advances and credit cards. They also plan to build incorporation services, fraud protection, and more, diversifying its revenue away from payments and differentiating itself from its competitors.

To further expand its position, the company is looking to triple its presence in Ireland, and extend its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil and India. Its latest venture, coming atop significant new funds, is to partner with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that will monetize OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhance Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forwards with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."

Company values

  • Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
  • An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
  • Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
  • Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
