Who we are

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

Stripe's users have to know they can safely make changes to their applications without risking their Stripe integrations. Being able to test against Stripe is one of the most important first steps any user will take as they add Stripe to their stack. As they scale their businesses on Stripe, users should also feel confident that they can make integration changes safely. This team is responsible for building the developer products and guardrails that provide this confidence in our API.

The Testing API and Sandboxes is responsible for giving our users any tool or product they need to verify their integration end-to-end. Whether it's manual ad-hoc testing, writing unit tests that adhere to industry best-practices, or being able to programmatically spin up and teardown a fully isolated sandbox to run in CI, a developer should be able to use our tooling to ensure confidence in their integration.

We're looking for an engineering manager to help spin up this team and effort across all of Stripe, work directly with our users to understand their problems and needs, and help align the organization on a path forward.
