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

AI and stablecoins have brought upon a renaissance of innovation in the internet economy. Products like the Link AI Wallet and stablecoin cross border payments are signs of a rapid transformation in the way people pay. Underpinning this new technology is access to the same network of banks and financial institutions that consumers and businesses have relied on for decades. Now more than ever, bank accounts need to transform into powerful tools to unlock this new age of commerce.

The Financial Connections team is building the connective tissue between banks and the internet economy. We’re building a platform to make ergonomic, portable access to banking data seamlessly and securely available to businesses around the world. Today, we power consumer experiences like Link Instant Bank Payments and merchant experiences like Stripe Capital. We’re on a mission to help consumers do more with their bank accounts, and we’d love for you to be a part of our story.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for Backend Engineers to design, build, and maintain scalable bank integration infrastructure. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work across the stack, creating intelligent systems that adapt to the availability of our banking partners and enable connectivity for new countries and product use cases. Our work is often cross-cutting; you’ll play a key role in our partnerships with banks and financial institutions while delivering a next-generation connectivity platform to provide great user experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Scope and lead large technical projects, translating business goals into clear technical requirements and executing effectively.
  • Align our tech stack with Stripe’s broad strategic initiatives, while also advocating for the needs of the emerging new businesses.
  • Work with engineers across the company to deliver comprehensive and reliable access to trustworthy banking data.
  • Balance the tradeoffs between short-term requirements and long-term roadmaps. Make decisions that consider business priorities, user experience, and sustainable technical foundations.
  • Mentor and collaborate with other engineers and managers to grow the next generation of leaders at Stripe.

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

  • Strong technical background, including 3+ years of experience designing and engineering large-scale systems
  • Comfortable working on a new product under fluid conditions, seamlessly balancing tactical and strategic considerations
  • Track record of leading and shipping complex cross-team projects end-to-end — from scoping and design through production and operations
  • You measure your success in terms of business impact, not lines of code
  • Ability to thrive with a high level of autonomy and responsibility and an entrepreneurial mindset
  • Work well cross-functionally and earn trust from co-workers at all levels. You are often cited as the inspiration for engineers that join your team
  • Prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones, and have a good intuition for what will last and scale
  • Care deeply about mentorship and growing engineers
