About the team

The Technology Compliance team is responsible for managing Audits, Risk and Controls at Stripe. We have a team of technical program managers who focus on driving compliance within Stripe against industry/regulatory standards and helping us achieve compliance against them.

What you’ll do 

We’re looking for someone to support our security and technology assessments (e.g. PCI-DSS, 3DS, P2PE, PIN, etc.), create a strong control ownership culture internally, and ensure Stripe Pproducts enable compliance for our users. The right person for this role will have deep technical discussions with our engineering teams to understand controls, processes and come up with efficientcreative ways to meet the intent of security requirements. This means not only understanding multiple technical regulations but also having a technical understanding of common technologies and systems to have constructive discussions with our engineering teams. Also, this person should be someone who has experience formally managing compliance programs and enjoys doing them.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct and lead assessments, working closely with our Product and Engineering teams to ensure that our services and users remain compliant and ahead of applicable security standards
  • Partner with Engineering teams to decompose ambiguous technical regulatory requirements into clear actionable deliverables
  • Maintain and enhance compliance to product security requirements 
  • Establish and maintain relationships with financial partners for both acquiring and issuing needs
  • Stay abreast of upcoming security regulatory changes that may impact Stripe or our users, and collaborate with engineering teams to make them seamless and transparent
  • Be a force multiplier for our customers—helping us devise ways of minimizing the burden of compliance so they can better grow their business
  • Partner with teams across Stripe to develop our communication strategy on Security
  • Identifying inefficiencies in processes and products and driving improvements

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

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.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $150,200 - $225,300. 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.
