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.
Service Infrastructure drives Stripe’s internal abstraction ecosystem to enable optimal scale, performance, and reliability for Stripe’s products. We identify and proactively remediate critical architectural limitations to enable Stripe to realize its product strategy. We provide an exceptional developer experience so that the product engineers building on top of Stripe’s infrastructure platforms can move on new features as fast as possible. We maintain Stripe’s six nines of availability despite a 60% YoY growth in scale, while ensuring efficiency and minimizing operational load.
The frameworks, SDKs, platform capabilities, async infrastructure, and tooling we build backs nearly every product at Stripe and enables the teams that build with them to ship reliable and performant services. They power Stripe’s payment, money movement, fraud detection, billing, crypto onramp, and a multitude of other products. They abstract Stripe’s complex infrastructure systems and expose easy to use, resilient, and scalable developer capabilities. They include out of the box reliability primitives that shield Stripe’s customers from incidents. They enable sustainable integration patterns for one of the world’s largest non-relational storage systems.
Service Infrastructure collaborates with nearly every engineering team in the company and are on the critical path of most key product launches and infrastructure improvements. We build developer capabilities that provide Stripe’s engineers with the most productive development experience of their careers.
We’re looking for engineering leaders who can drive the technical vision of Stripe’s service infrastructure for thousands of engineers and thrive in a highly autonomous environment with many moving pieces. You’ll lead in a large organization of talented engineers where your expertise and influence will empower our teams and the business to scale effectively. You will design and deliver capabilities, abstractions, and tools that provide Stripe engineers with a world class developer experience and you will advance Stripe’s infrastructure to meet our consistently rising bar for reliability and performance. You’ll collaborate with engineers across the company to design and build large-scale capabilities, while simultaneously enhancing our internal engineering standards, tooling, and processes. Most importantly, you’ll operate with an extreme degree of user focus. You’ll work directly with engineers leaders across product and infrastructure to discover and translate business needs into engineering plans that deliver high-impact business results.
