About Stripe
Stripe 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 team
The Global Payments Experiences group is an organization focused on bringing new and novel payment methods to Stripe, and ensuring Stripe’s systems work well for merchants globally. This team works with internal and external partners to expand regional, non-card payment options, and to expand the use of Stripe’s payments processing globally.

This is a Sao Paulo-based team, with platform teams in the US and Europe and sister teams worldwide. This team in particular will build and maintain new payment methods for Stripe, with a focus on LATAM and North America. They will manage local market idiosyncrasies, become regional experts that other Stripe teams will rely on, and partner with many non-tech functions at Stripe to expand our global reach and product portfolio.

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
