Role

Who you are

  • 1.5+ years of software development experience
  • Experience independently designing and developing mid-size projects
  • Experience writing high quality code in a major programming language
  • Ability to drive clear next steps when working in an ambiguous environment
  • Ability to think creatively and reason clearly in a complex problem domain

Desirable

  • Experience developing, deploying, and maintaining reliable infrastructure systems
  • Security or Privacy experience is a plus but not a requirement

What the job involves

  • The Privacy Infrastructure team creates tools and systems that help Stripe meet our privacy obligations, protect our customer's data, and ensure it is used responsibly
  • We build the core tooling and infrastructure that allows Stripe to programmatically track the data we store, determine what policies apply to that data, and automatically enforce access control and deletion policies based on the business purpose and sensitivity of the data
  • We’re looking for an infrastructure-focused engineer to help build the core systems that we use to power Stripe's access control and data deletion systems
  • In this role you will design, build, and drive adoption of tools that create strong security invariants for the protection of our users’ data
  • You will have the opportunity to build abstractions, frameworks and libraries that allow developers to focus on their job while security and compliance is done correctly for them behind the scenes
  • Design, build, and maintain core infrastructure frameworks, services and APIs used by all of Stripe’s engineering teams
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across security, legal, and compliance teams to encode best practices for data protection into how products and infrastructure are built
  • Support other engineering teams in integrating Security and Privacy tooling
  • Design and refine tooling to create a great developer experience for other Stripes
  • Uphold our high engineering standards and improve our codebase and processes
  • Design and build systems that advance the Stripe's Infrastructure beyond the state of the art

Our take

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."
