Software Engineer, Operator Tooling

Who we are

About Stripe

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.

About the team

Operator Tooling builds software that helps Stripe’s operations teams spend less time on manual processes and more time on the work that needs their expertise. We replace spreadsheets, unstructured email chains, and repetitive tasks with tools that make operational work easier to manage and track.

What you’ll do

You’ll build and improve the platforms Stripe’s operations teams use to manage their work. Working across backend systems, you’ll turn complex operational needs into reliable tools and integrations, partnering directly with internal users to understand their workflows and improve their experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own problems from end to end, managing complexity and working directly with stakeholders to understand business impact, reliability, and operability
  • Contribute to the product roadmap, help shape the team’s vision and strategy, and act as a sounding board for team leadership
  • Uphold Stripe’s high standards for engineering and product quality
  • Mentor newer team members and help them develop their engineering skills
  • Work with stakeholders across Stripe to understand competing needs and balance priorities

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience
  • Comfort working across backend systems, with an understanding of the full software development lifecycle, from design and implementation to testing and deployment
  • Ability to write high-quality, thoroughly tested code with clear documentation and appropriate production observability, following best practices in engineering, security, and design
  • Empathy for internal and external users and a commitment to improving their experience
  • Proven ability to integrate different services and processes, including those you haven’t worked with before

Preferred qualifications

  • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Ruby, Java, Python, or Go; we value general engineering skills more than knowledge of a particular language or framework, and languages can be learned on the job
  • Knowledge of distributed systems patterns and principles

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

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 specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
