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.
Stripe’s Data Lake team owns the storage layer, metadata services, and supporting tooling that power analytics, machine learning, and data-driven products across the company. We build and operate the petabyte-scale data lake that sits atop cloud object storage, enabling thousands of engineers, scientists, and risk analysts to discover, secure, and query data efficiently. Our platform is built on open-source technologies such as Apache Iceberg, Parquet, Trino, Spark, and Flink, and it is a critical foundation for Stripe’s decision-making, reporting, and risk systems.
We’re looking for a Staff Engineer with deep experience designing, building, and scaling distributed data systems. You will help lead the next evolution of Stripe’s data lake—moving toward a secure, compliant, and cost-efficient storage layer that seamlessly supports both streaming and batch workloads. You’ll work closely with partner teams and open-source communities to create state-of-the-art infrastructure that makes data at Stripe fast, reliable, and secure.
