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.

About the team

The Information Organization at Stripe focuses on enabling the effective use of data for decision-making and automation as well as scaling efficient go-to-market motions through strategy, technology, and data. We are a broad and diverse team spanning Data Science, Growth, ML Infrastructure, and Applied AI/ML. Data Science is a central team that partners with all parts of Stripe and uses data to make sure that we understand our users, their users, the Stripe business, and make near-optimal decisions (both automated within the product and strategically). Growth is a cross-functional team that delivers the insights, algorithms, internal systems, tools, and user-facing experiences that help Stripe acquire, convert and grow millions of merchants globally. The ML Infrastructure group aims to provide state of the art infrastructure and support for building and operationalizing AI/ML models for all business verticals within Stripe. And finally, the Applied AI/ML team’s goal is to maximize the impact of AI/ML across Stripe’s user-facing products and internal operations.

Strategy and Operations works cross functionally within Information and across Stripe to drive and enable the growth of the business. We lead mission-critical, cross-functional efforts, deliver objective analysis and insights, and execute on strategic initiatives. Whatever it is, we work on what will move the needle most for Stripe. We care about results, not activity, and we have fun doing it. If you like hard problems, are analytical, and are an amazing teammate, we want to hear from you!
