  • Comfort with developer tools (e.g. git), and an ability to make well-scoped code changes in Stripe's codebase
  • Great technical problem-solving skills, with an ability to develop a working understanding of a technical system using a variety of methods. These include (but aren't limited to): reading/writing code, reading documentation or partner specifications, running debugging programs, reading logs, asking well-formed questions to domain experts, or digging into the raw data through various interfaces.
  • Great communication skills, with an ability to frame messages appropriately for technical and non-technical audiences
  • The will to deliver results, with an ability to establish priorities and reliably execute on solutions (often with hard external deadlines)
  • An instinct to produce work that increases the impact of others, and helps us scale and grow (e.g. documentation, tools)
Responsibilities
  • Become a domain expert in an area of Stripe’s Issuing & Treasury stacks
  • Handle inquiries from internal Stripes and external partners' technical teams, often requiring detailed investigation and sometimes code changes
  • Engage with Stripe's financial partners to drive alignment on product usage, troubleshoot and solve technical problems or breakages
  • Organize and direct complex technical changes and projects between Stripe and our partners
  • Identify and automate inefficient or unnecessary manual processes through code changes, partner agreements, or making and coordinating more complex code changes across Stripe
  • Design future anomaly detection systems and tools to ensure that data flowing through our partner and internal systems is reliable and correct
  • Collaborate across the company, including engineering, accounting, financial partnerships and product, to trace and account for billions of dollars moving through the Stripe platform

What critics are saying
