What you’ll do

Fullstack engineers at Stripe are comfortable working on new products under fluid conditions, seamlessly balancing tactical and strategic considerations. 

Responsibilities:

• Work with our partners to design and launch new features and capabilities
• Align our technical decisions with Stripe’s broad strategic initiatives, while also advocating for needs specific to emerging new businesses
• Work with engineers across the company to understand when existing infrastructure can be leveraged vs. when building a bespoke solution is prudent
