Who we areAbout 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 organizations 

Stripe’s Payments and Risk organizations are at the heart of Stripe’s business. They are responsible for enabling our users to accept payments worldwide, in a secure and reliable fashion.  

You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including: 

• Optimized Checkout & Link: The Optimized Checkout and Link teams focus on building best-in-class checkout experiences that provide delightful checkout experiences for customers, while driving higher purchase conversion for merchants. As an organization, we work on Checkout, Payment Links, Elements, Payment Methods, and Link – each playing a crucial part in augmenting the economic landscape of the internet.
• Risk: Risk Engineering develops products that reduce Stripe's financial and regulatory risk at scale while maintaining an excellent user experience. We ensure user compliance with regulatory and partner requirements, protecting both Stripe's brand and financial stability - by building both user-facing products and backend systems.
• Identity: The Identity team is responsible for ensuring that businesses can digitally verify their users for fraud, regulatory and trust & safety purposes. We provide the Stripe Identity product, which automates KYC verification for merchants and platforms. 
• As a full-stack engineer on the team, you’ll be responsible for shaping and building a suite of products that let our users model and operate their business more efficiently. We’re looking for engineers who are excited to build the future of hosted UIs, high-polish user experiences, and APIs.

Connect enables the world’s leading platforms and marketplaces like Shopify, DoorDash, and Instacart to incorporate payments into their products. Connect has been at the forefront of Stripe’s growth due to the power of its offering, which enables our users to distribute Stripe’s payment processing directly to their sellers and merchants. As Stripe grows its suite of product offerings beyond payments, Connect will unlock a new phase of growth for Stripe by enabling our platforms to distribute all of Stripe’s products to their end users. Multiple teams within Connect are hiring full stack engineers.

Full-stack engineers at Stripe bridge the gap between backend and frontend systems to solve technical challenges quickly and effectively. You will work on projects that span technologies, systems, and processes where you will design, build, test, and ship great code every day. In this cross functional role, you will collaborate with experts in infrastructure, security, design, and operations to build mission critical internal and external features that power Stripe users around the world.
