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.
The Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team exists to solve the hardest problems our most complex enterprise users face, and to turn those solutions into platform capabilities that scale to everyone. We work across Revenue Suite, Payments, and adjacent products. This is not a support function. It is an engineering team that sits at the boundary between Stripe's platform and the real-world complexity of how large enterprises actually use it.
The traditional FDE playbook, one engineer per user who manually rebuilds context every rotation, is how every infrastructure company has done it for a decade. It does not scale. We are building something different: an agent-augmented model where AI handles the context-heavy, structured work (integration mapping, state reconciliation, infrastructure shadow testing, diagnostics) and human FDEs focus on the parts that require engineering judgment, product thinking, and direct user relationships. The goal is to build engineering muscle that lets us serve every strategic user through the platform, not just the handful we can staff individually.
We've proven the approach with some of the world's most demanding enterprise users, delivering measurable auth rate improvements, unblocking critical platform migrations, closing multi-product integration gaps, and driving real revenue. Now we're scaling the model. If you want to solve hard user problems, build reusable platform solutions, and help shape how forward deployed engineering works as a discipline, this is the team.
As an Engineer on the RFA Forward Deployed Engineering team, you will:
You're a strong engineer who also thinks like a product person. You're comfortable with ambiguity, you'd rather talk to a user than read a spec, and you care about whether the thing you built actually solved the problem. Think: early engineer at a startup who played PM, did product discovery, partnered with users, and shipped. You're also interested in working at the frontier of agent-augmented engineering, not just using AI tools but helping define how an engineering function operates alongside them.
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.
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is CA$172,000 - CA$258,000. This range may change if you are hired in another location. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. 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.
Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.
