About the team

Stripe’s payments products have helped to accelerate many of the world’s
most innovative companies, and the Payments Methods team owns one of
Stripe’s most critical workflows, a platform that processes billions of
dollars in payments annually. 

We see more and more payment methods coming to the Buy Now Pay Later,
Wallets, Bank Debits and Bank Transfers space. These provide more
benefits to merchants and enable functionality that was not present
before. These innovations are only increasing as new payment methods
come to market each month. The team is focused on increasing the
coverage and adoption of locally preferred payment methods for all our
users. This includes building the payment method platform and the
payment method integrations, and working on the adoption funnel to
increase usage.

What you’ll do

Engineers on the team have the opportunity to expand the reach of
Stripe’s global payments network, design and implement novel payment
capabilities, and deliver best-in-class reliability and performance.
