About the organization
Stripe’s Payments and Risk organizations are at the heart of Stripe’s business. They are responsible for enabling our users to accept payments worldwide, in a secure and reliable fashion.
You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including:
-
Optimized Checkout & Link: The Optimized Checkout and Link teams focus on building best-in-class checkout experiences that provide delightful checkout experiences for customers, while driving higher purchase conversion for merchants. As an organization, we work on Checkout, Payment Links, Elements, Payment Methods, and Link – each playing a crucial part in augmenting the economic landscape of the internet.
-
Risk: Risk Engineering develops products that reduce Stripe's financial and regulatory risk at scale while maintaining an excellent user experience. We ensure user compliance with regulatory and partner requirements, protecting both Stripe's brand and financial stability - by building both user-facing products and backend systems.
-
Identity: The Identity team is responsible for ensuring that businesses can digitally verify their users for fraud, regulatory and trust & safety purposes. We provide the Stripe Identity product, which automates KYC verification for merchants and platforms.
-
Payins: The Payins organization oversees the fundamental primitives of collecting payments across the Stripe ecosystem. Custodians of mission-critical foundations, and stewards of essential administrative payment workflows, merchants rely on us to innovate on the fundamentals. We act as catalysts towards realizing Stripe’s flexible and extensible multi-product platform.
As a full-stack engineer on the team, you’ll be responsible for shaping and building a suite of products that let our users model and operate their business more efficiently. We’re looking for engineers who are excited to build the future of hosted UIs, high-polish user experiences, and APIs.

You will work on projects that span technologies, systems, and processes where you will design, build, test, and ship great code every day. In this cross functional role, you will collaborate with experts in infrastructure, security, design, and operations to build mission critical internal and external features that power Stripe users around the world.
Responsibilities
- Work with a wide range of systems, processes and technologies to own and solve problems from end-to-end.
