About The Organization
Stripe Infrastructure is responsible for the reliability, scale, performance, and cost of Stripe’s systems and the productivity and sentiment of Stripe’s people.
You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including:
- Core Infrastructure: We’re the home for Stripe's critical tier0 infrastructure systems (Compute, Networking, DocumentDB, Distributed Caching and High assurance engineering). We build the foundational platform for Stripe products and services to allow them to operate at scale. We drive reliability, availability, efficiency and scalability of these systems.
- Developer Infrastructure: We’re responsible for the productivity of all developers at Stripe. Ensure Stripe’s engineers have a reliable, fast, and easy-to-use inner dev loop to maximize productivity while building everything from low-latency microservices to large-scale data pipelines and machine learning models.
- Observability: We’re responsible for the productivity of all developers at Stripe. Ensure Stripe’s engineers have a reliable, fast, and easy-to-use inner dev loop to maximize productivity while building everything from low-latency microservices to large-scale data pipelines, machine learning models and systems that enable observability at scale.
- Reliability Insights and Excellence: We build tools and frameworks to introspect and improve reliability across Stripe.
- Admin Platform: We empower Stripes to quickly build secure and delightful internal products in service of their users.
- Support Experience: We build and improve our 24x7 email, phone, and chat support channels, our Premium Support and Enterprise Services products, our Support Site, and more. This includes how users get help within our products, how they get in touch with us when they have questions, and how our teams use internal tools to answer those questions.
- Service Platform: We enable engineering teams at Stripe to easily write and ship useful services that correctly, reliably, and efficiently leverage platform capabilities.

- Debug production issues across services and several 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.

- 2+ years of professional hands-on software development experience, able to write well-factored algorithms and have experience with commonly used data structure and algorithms.

- Strong collaboration skills, can work across workstreams within your team and contribute to your peers’ success.

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. 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.
