About the role
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
Web Presence and Platform (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.
WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Stripe's success, as stripe.com is often a user's first impression of the company, and the vast majority of signups come via the website. We'll apply data-driven rigor to our curiosity, and we'll come up with clever ways to get insight into important questions. We'll have the leeway to test out-of-the-box ideas alongside incremental ones. We'll apply Stripe's users-first mentality both internally and externally, crafting tangible productivity and quality-of-life improvements for colleagues while maintaining and elevating the quality of stripe.com.

As a software engineer, you'll design and build platforms and services that are configurable and scalable around the globe. You'll partner with many functions at Stripe, with the opportunity to both work on infrastructure and platform systems and produce direct user-facing business impact.
Organizations is one of Stripe's biggest bets. You'll join a team with an ambitious and exciting goal at an early stage, with several opportunities to solve complex engineering problems at scale. If this sounds exciting, we'd love to speak with you.
