What you’ll do

We’re looking for engineers with a strong background or interest in building successful platforms, systems and data pipelines; you’re passionate about data, you are comfortable in dealing with lots of moving pieces; and you’re comfortable learning new technologies and systems. As a Software Engineer, you’ll be empowered to make decisions and build solutions with a significant impact on Stripe while making our systems a delight to use.

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 

• 2-5 years of professional experience writing high quality production level code 
• Finds joy in designing and implementing data-intensive applications
• Has a knack for creative problem-solving, designing, and delivering effective solutions for our users
• Enjoys different facets of product development, from architectural design and planning to conducting user interviews and writing code

Preferred qualifications

• Is versed in various software languages and frameworks, such as Ruby, Typescript, Scala, Java, React, GraphQL, Mongo, Airflow, Spark, Kafka, Flink, Iceberg, Splunk, and Grafana
• Experience developing, maintaining and debugging distributed systems 
• Able to reason clearly and move with urgency in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Experience with data quality tools (e.g. Deequ, Soda, Great Expectations), with proven ability to implement and optimize these in large-scale environments
• Familiarity with machine learning concepts, especially as applied to data quality

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $136,800 - $205,200. 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 location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
