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.
The JavaScript Infrastructure Engineering team is a high impact, high leverage, and high visibility team that supports the productivity of Stripe’s frontend engineers. The team creates and supports cross cutting infrastructural libraries, services, and utilities; establishes and enforces clean coding patterns; makes sweeping code changes that improve the quality of code at Stripe; and improves build times and reliability.
That’s not easy. We work with a code base of several million lines of code (and counting), used by thousands of engineers across the globe and we must focus at many levels of the stack. It's rewarding and what we do is key to allowing Stripe engineers working in our products to have the most productive time of their careers.
We're looking for engineers who are excited about making large-scale frontend development fast, reliable, and maintainable. You'll own parts of the infrastructure that every Stripe UI engineer depends on, from remote devboxes to CI, and build solutions where open-source tooling doesn't scale to our needs.
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
