Senior Internal Apps Engineer

Join Stripe as a Senior Internal Apps Engineer

About the Team

The Internal Apps Engineering team at Stripe is at the forefront of enabling our employees to create apps and tools beyond our traditional application stack. We manage a low-code platform that empowers Stripe teams to develop specialized apps, proofs-of-concept, or sophisticated collaboration tools efficiently. Our team collaborates closely with other teams within Corporate Technology to integrate resources, create appropriate infrastructure, and maintain safety and privacy.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Internal Apps Engineer, you will be an indispensable contributor, leveraging low-code solutions to benefit Stripe as a whole. Your role involves designing, building, integrating, and maintaining apps, closely collaborating with diverse teams within Stripe. From day one, you will be actively involved in app development, ensuring smooth launches and ongoing app performance.

Responsibilities

• Address user needs by swiftly and securely developing new apps.
• Work autonomously and collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage app development from conception to launch, including long-term maintenance.
• Establish and promote best practices for low-code app development within Stripe.
• Write functional, high-performance code in various languages, including JavaScript and SQL.
• Develop test suites, shared libraries, and reusable components for the benefit of the Stripe community.
• Design secure apps that maintain user privacy and meet Stripe’s engineering quality standards.
• Guide developers on the advantages and considerations of low-code solutions.
• Debug and resolve issues with existing and new apps, including participating in an on-call rotation for critical failures.

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

• Possess at least 5 years of industry experience in developing rich web applications using modern frameworks.
• Have a comprehensive understanding of the full-stack, from user experience and system integration to reliability.
• Knowledge and industry experience with JavaScript, React, SQL, and CSS.

Preferred Qualifications

• You have a passion for enabling people to do their best work.
• You never lose sight of the end-user, and enjoy the quick feedback loops made possible by working (sometimes literally) next to your users.
• You enjoy working together with your team toward common goals, but are able to drive your work forward autonomously.
• You work very well cross-functionally, and are able to think rigorously and make hard decisions and tradeoffs.
• You thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts.
• You have experience building complex apps using low-code tools, understanding the nuances of different implementation strategies.
• You have experience with Ruby and GraphQL.

Hybrid Work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office). Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Pay and Benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $139,400 - $209,300. 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.
