Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. This role offers an unprecedented opportunity to contribute to the global economy while doing the most important work of your career.

About The Team

The Organizations and Auth Platform team is responsible for building solutions that allow merchants to manage their businesses across multiple Stripe accounts effectively.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will design and build platforms and services that are configurable and scalable globally. You will partner with various functions at Stripe, working on both infrastructure/platform systems and producing direct user-facing business impact.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable, and performant services and systems.
• Work with a wide range of systems, processes, and technologies to own and solve technical and product problems.
• Build and launch new capabilities and products that bring significant value to customers.
• Uphold high engineering standards and elevate quality and engineering efficiency within our codebases and processes.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization, including dependency engineering teams, product, design, infrastructure, and operations.
• Debug production issues across services at multiple levels of the stack.

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 as a backend engineer, with an affinity for building scalable backend infrastructure.
• Experience delivering, extending, and maintaining large-scale distributed systems.
• Empathetic, collaborative, and user-first mindset in everything you build.
• Interest in working as a generalist across varying technologies and stacks to solve problems and delight both internal and external users.
• Ability to stitch together many different services even if you have not worked with them before.
• Preference for simple solutions and designs over complex ones, with a good intuition for what is lasting and scalable.
• Skills to build holistically – from specs and documentation to implementation, testing, deployment, and measuring impact.
• Ability to work well cross-functionally and earn trust from colleagues at all levels.
• Experience mentoring and growing junior engineers as their technical leader.

Pay and Benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $150,500 - $225,700. 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.
