Full Stack Engineer

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

WPP is organized into two pillars, each of which is grouped into pods that focus on the central tenets of Stripe's public mission. The Presence pillar creates industry-leading designs for Stripe’s front door surfaces, educates customers about the power of our platform, and drives our business success. The Platform pillar builds the internal machinery that powers these surfaces, and is responsible for making our websites fast, stable, and easy to modify.

Together we design and build stripe.com and other sites that amount to what is, for many, their first impression of Stripe. As such, WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Stripe’s success. We want to make every pixel count, we want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Stripes seamlessly benefit from our systematic work.

What you’ll do

You’ll build compelling, interactive content tooling and platforms that enhance user experience, foster user adoption, and maintain a high bar for craft and beauty. You’ll architect your work with rendering performance and scalability in mind, and implement abstractions that other engineers consume and build upon. At other times you’ll work closely with folks in our Presence group to scope and implement tooling and infrastructure that helps other people build pages using your code.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement the tooling and platforms to support interactive content tools (e.g., calculators, generators, templates) that provide utility to current and prospective businesses.
• Utilize a user-first mindset to implement feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement of content and product offerings.
• Write code that wires together our translation management system, front-end components and content with scale and performance in mind.
• Design and build integrations to third-party software and create seamless workflows across these tools to unleash their full potential to the rest of Stripe.
• Work with a small team of technically sophisticated engineers who put users first.
• Own solutions from end to end, managing complexity and engaging directly with stakeholders to think through everything from success metrics, to the ergonomics of individual APIs.
