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

The Stripe Dashboard is the primary way that merchants manage their Stripe accounts with a web browser. The Dashboard Foundation team is building the backend and frontend platform that powers many parts of the Dashboard. Not only does the team drive new capabilities for merchants, but it also works closely with many internal teams and organizations to make their features possible.

The team is composed of engineers and designers, and often works with data scientists, technical program managers, and others. We’re a mix of remote and on-site, and distributed throughout North America.

We’re looking for a full stack engineer who is passionate about building user facing experiences spanning both the frontend stack and backend platform to solve critical business problems for Stripe Merchants.

What you’ll do

As a full stack engineer on the Dashboard Foundation team, you’ll build platform-level capabilities for the Stripe Dashboard, elevating the experience for every merchant. By creating and expanding these platform capabilities, you’ll make the page-to-page and product-to-product experience in the Dashboard support the ever-changing needs of merchants for years to come. And on top of that, you’ll accelerate other teams at Stripe by enabling them to focus on their unique goals without needing to think about platform-level concerns.

Responsibilities

• Build software services and platforms that impact millions of Stripe users, whether they’re an end user, developer, or partner
• Ensure our platforms are reliable, scalable, secure, and extensible
• Shape future-proof interfaces that are easy to build against
• Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
• Help drive sound technical decision making and lead technical conversations with other teams across Stripe
• Debug production issues across services and levels of the stack
