Frontend Engineer, Admin Platform

Who we are

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

Stripe Admin is an internal platform which is relied upon by Stripe employees globally for every part of their job: from talking with our users on the phone to launching a new feature and everything in between. Admin is an integral part of how we move quickly in service of our users. The Admin Platform team is responsible for the entire stack that powers Stripe Admin, from the frameworks that peer teams use to build Admin Apps, to operating the servers that host those apps.

Our platform supports hundreds of Stripe engineers globally, who deploy dozens of times daily into a several-hundred-thousand-line codebase to thousands of internal users; those users spend their entire day in Admin executing mission-critical tasks for Stripe. Our job is to improve productivity for all those stakeholders while upholding a world-class security posture, and this often requires intervention at every layer of the stack.

You will

  • Work with a team of technically sophisticated engineers who make developer experience their first priority
  • Own solutions from end to end, managing complexity and engaging directly with stakeholders to think through everything from success metrics to the ergonomics of individual APIs
  • Build and maintain platform libraries, app features, and services in TypeScript, Ruby, and Java
  • Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack, from the frontend to the storage layer
  • Uphold Stripe’s high standards for engineering and product quality and mentor less experienced team members to do the same

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

  • 5+ years of experience in full-time software development roles
  • Hands-on experience building web applications in modern frontend technologies (TypeScript, React, Vue, Angular)
  • Some experience building and debugging backend services (Ruby, TypeScript, Java, Go, etc.) 
  • Passion for improving productivity and developer experience of internal product teams
  • Ability to thrive on a high level of ambiguity, autonomy and responsibility
  • Eagerness to learn and effectiveness at exchanging constructive feedback with peer engineers

Preferred qualifications

  • Passion for building high-performance products, especially libraries to enable other teams to create great products
  • Experience building developer-facing products like frontend frameworks, component libraries, and/or APIs
  • Experience gathering and using data to inform future product decisions
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for different audiences (leadership, users, stakeholders etc.) and different formats (developer guides, runbooks, project plans, etc.)

Hybrid work at Stripe

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.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $179,400 - $269,200. 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.
