Role

Who you are

  • You have 3+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer
  • You have an entrepreneurial mindset
  • You enjoy data modeling challenges and have a high bar for keeping your solutions expressive yet simple to use
  • Enjoy being a generalist designing and working on both the frontend and/or backend, and anything it takes to solve problems and delight users
  • Take pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems
  • Can stitch together many different services and processes together even if you have not worked with them before
  • Can put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great experiences
  • Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders
  • You’re obsessed with product quality and don’t settle for “good enough.”

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for engineers who are excited to build the future of hosted UIs, high-polish user experiences, reusable APIs and building blocks for our Billing, and world-class infrastructure
  • Full stack engineers at Stripe push us further towards that goal by bridging the gap between backend and frontend systems to solve technical challenges quickly and effectively
  • You will work on projects that span technologies, systems, and processes where you will design, build, test, and ship great code every day
  • In this cross functional role, you will collaborate with experts in infrastructure, security, design, and operations to build mission critical internal and external features that power Stripe users around the world
  • Work with a wide range of systems, processes and technologies to own and solve problems from end-to-end
  • Work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to build new features and products
  • Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to the many codebases and processes you will encounter
  • Build elegant APIs and user experiences that enable merchants to run and scale their businesses on top of Stripe
  • Contribute to the design and architecture of the next generation of Stripe’s infrastructure, to meet the high growth needs of our company and customers for years to come

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.
