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

Stripe processes over $1T in payments volume per year, which is roughly 1% of the world’s GDP, for millions of customers from startups to enterprises. The tremendous amount of data makes Stripe one of the best places to do machine learning. While being an integral part of almost every product line at Stripe (e.g., Payments, Radar, Capital, Billing, etc.), ML is still in its early days in realizing its full potential at Stripe and is a top priority in the coming years. The ML Infra team builds services and tools that power every step in the ML lifecycle, including data exploration, feature generation, experimentation, training, deploying, and serving ML models.
