Who We Are

Stripe is a leading financial infrastructure platform for businesses, enabling millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we are committed to providing the tools and services necessary to make this possible.

About The Team

The Messaging team at Stripe builds the platform that powers communications from Stripe to the millions of businesses and customers using our services. These communications span multiple channels like emails, SMS, push notifications, and Dashboard messages across all product surfaces at Stripe.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer on the Messaging team, you will:

• Build platform-level capabilities for Stripe communications across multiple channels, enhancing the experience for every merchant.
• Enable message delivery at scale while providing Stripe users with a seamless experience to view, manage, and communicate important information.
• Accelerate other teams at Stripe by enabling them to focus on their unique goals without needing to think about platform-level concerns.

Responsibilities

• Develop software services and platforms that impact millions of Stripe users, whether they’re an end user, developer, or partner.
• Ensure our platforms are reliable, scalable, secure, and extensible.
• Shape future-proof interfaces that are easy to build against.
• Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation.
• Help drive sound technical decision making and lead technical conversations with other teams across Stripe.
• Debug production issues across services and levels of the stack.

Who You Are

We’re looking for someone who meets the following requirements:

• 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience building end-to-end user solutions.
• Mastery of one or more programming languages such as Ruby, Python, or Go, and frontend experience with React and either TypeScript or JavaScript.
• Experience debugging complex problems across the whole stack.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving engineers, designers, and others to identify high-impact ways of solving problems quickly.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Simple solutions and designs over complex ones.
• Experience building scalable, resilient, and observable systems.
• Understanding UX best practices for the frontend.
• Experience building software for fellow developers.
