About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions

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

About the team

The Test Data Infrastructure team is responsible for making Stripe’s
developers happy and productive. We work on tools, processes, and code

The team has three main areas of responsibility. Providing access to

“Scenarios”, providing the primitives to sanitize, or generate,
production-like data to improve the quality of testing, or ML model
training.

What you’ll do

You will be responsible for defining and driving the core feature set of
the platform, as well as the user experience of using the platform. The
scope includes engineers who iterate on features locally, and engineers
who run end-to-end tests in any supported deployment environment such as
QA or pre-production.
