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
We oversee Accounts and Connect APIs and dashboard surfaces that Stripe users rely on to run their business.
As part of revamping our Accounts Platform for the next decade plus, we have the opportunity to solve challenging user pain points at scale and build a granular, expressive framework powering users’ onboarding experience as well as that of their own end users. As part of revamping our Platform Abstractions, we have an opportunity to provide flexibility to our users in terms of their economic model, funds flows, and how they integrate their business with Stripe.
A strong foundation of customizable account structures and interoperable APIs is critical to Stripe’s long-term success. It’s important we get the set of core business blocks right – that we understand how businesses of all sizes model their organizational structures and think about their relationships, and we ensure that integrating with Stripe is nothing short of a fantastic experience. We are applying Stripe’s developer-centric approach to building a flexible, programmable representation of humans, businesses, and money that maps across all Stripe products.
What you'll do
Engineers on the team will design and build end-to-end features for Stripe’s Accounts and Connect APIs. This includes features for Stripe’s largest users with complex integrations, as well as new users, solopreneurs, and startups. We are seeking engineers who are excited to develop features for these foundations as well as their API and UI representations, delivering best-in-class product experiences for our users.
