Staff Software Engineer at Stripe building the Compartments and Accounts Platform (CAP), a foundational service handling all Stripe API traffic. Focus on scalable, reliable services supporting hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
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 Compartments and Accounts Platform (CAP) team is the source of truth for all Stripe merchants and connections information - all of Stripe API traffic passes through our services. We build highly scalable and reliable services that ensure Stripe provides best-in-class availability and latency, with the ability to handle hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
Users have historically had to create a new Stripe account for each global entity or business unit. The CAP team crafted Organizations to allow businesses to manage all their Stripe accounts in one place. As Stripe grows its suite of product offerings beyond payments, Organizations unlocks a new phase of growth by enabling our platforms and businesses to model their complex businesses and distribute all of Stripe’s products to their end users. This team is responsible for evolving the platform that powers Stripe Organizations and is also in the unique position of delivering products that use this platform, including Payments, Terminal, Connect, and more.
We are evolving our architecture to support Stripe’s next ten years of growth, and you will be making some of the most significant technical decisions for the company. We are looking for technical leaders who are excited to work across these domains, driving the technical vision for how Stripe will both build these foundations and build on top of them to deliver higher-level products for our users.
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.
