Software Engineer, Core Events
StripeAbout 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 Core Events team builds and operates the data plane for Stripe’s event infrastructure, enabling high-scale event-driven programming and easy asynchronous communication between services for all of Stripe. We operate globally distributed systems at high levels of reliability to support Stripe’s growing scalability, reliability, and product requirements. We enable other teams at Stripe by creating simple abstractions and providing self-service tooling and dashboards to enable users to easily operate services on our infrastructure. We minimize operational toil for the team through regular investment in automation of maintenance operations.
What You’ll Do
You’ll work with other infrastructure engineers as well as the product engineers who use the systems we build. We’re looking for people interested in data. We’d love to hear from you whether you’re a seasoned software engineer, or whether you’ve just learned you might like working with event-driven systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain event-driven infrastructure systems – leveraging popular software such as Kafka, Flink, and Amazon SQS – used by all of Stripe’s engineering teams.
- Work with various stakeholders at Stripe to understand their specific requirements and identify opportunities to better leverage our streaming infrastructure.
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.
Minimum Requirements
- 2-6 years of professional hands-on software development experience
- Experience designing, building, maintaining and debugging distributed systems
- Experience with scaling distributed systems in a rapidly moving environment
- Experience building infrastructure as a product centered around users’ needs
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with event-driven architecture
- Experience working with open source technology such as Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, Flink or Beam
- Experience with orchestration platforms such as Cadence, Temporal or AWS Step Functions
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 - $225,700. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
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.
