Senior Software Engineer, Data Processing Infrastructure

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

The Batch Compute team at Stripe manages the infrastructure, tooling, and systems behind running batch processing systems at Stripe, which are currently powered by Hadoop and Spark. Batch processing systems power several core asynchronous workflows at Stripe and operate at significant scale.

What You’ll Do

We're looking for a Software Engineer with experience designing, building, and maintaining high-scale, distributed systems. You will work with a team that is in charge of the core infrastructure used by the product teams to build and operate batch processing jobs. You will have an opportunity to play a hands-on role in significantly advancing our current infrastructure to be much more efficient and resilient.

Responsibilities

• Scope and lead technical projects within the Batch Compute domain.
• Build and maintain the infrastructure which powers the core of Stripe.
• Directly contribute to core systems and write code.
• Work closely with the open source community to identify opportunities for adopting new open source features as well as contribute back to the OSS.
• Ensure operational excellence and enable a highly available, reliable, and secure Batch Compute platform.

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

• 4+ years of professional experience writing high-quality production-level code or software programs.
• Experience with distributed data systems such as Spark, Flink, Trino, Kafka, etc.
• Experience developing, maintaining, and debugging distributed systems built with open source tools.
• Experience building and scaling infrastructure as a product.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience as a user of batch processing, authoring, and optimizing Spark applications.
• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines.
• Open source contributions to data processing or big data systems (Hadoop, Spark, Celeborn, Flink, etc).

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.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and Benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $150,500 - $269,200. 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.
