Software Developer/ Engineer/ Architect

Infrastructure Engineer, Access & Attribution

Stripe is building economic infrastructure for the internet. As an Infrastructure Engineer on the Access and Attribution team, you will help build and expand services and libraries used to access, manipulate and lifecycle data stored in S3 by Stripe teams. There is a significant amount of engineering (design and coding) necessary to make this a reality, both in maintaining an existing codebase and building new services and features.

 

Together, we will build reliable, resilient and high demand into Stripe’s foundations, with the steady support of our leadership team and peers. You’ll be working with a variety of teams, some engineering and some business, to provide infrastructure and guidance to solve their data storage needs in an easy, compliant and secure way. Your work will allow teams to move faster, more securely and ultimately help Stripe serve our customers more effectively.

You will:

  • Design, build, and maintain the infrastructure used by all of Stripe’s engineering teams.
  • Debug production issues across services and levels of the stack.
  • Plan for the growth of Stripe’s infrastructure.
  • Build a great customer experience for people using your infrastructure.
  • Support critical systems required to operate Stripe.

Some things you might work on:

Our team’s scope is large and there’s a lot of work to do, this is why we need you! Some of the project we are working on include:

  • Build out a company wide authorization service accessing S3
  • Build out a company wide system and tooling to help teams organize and reason about their offline data, including actionable insights
  • Build out and improve tooling and libraries for teams to access offline data in an easy and secure way.
  • Proactively and in a structured way provide expertise on offline storage to all teams at Stripe to increase efficiency and stay compliant with regulatory requirements

What’s it like to work at Stripe?

Stripe is, at its heart, an engineering company. To provide a missing pillar of core internet infrastructure, we hire people with a broad set of technical skills (and from a wide variety of backgrounds) who are ready to take on some of the most challenging problems in the industry – from reliably handling in excess of 100M API requests per day to enabling entrepreneurs worldwide to start a global internet business.

We want to work in a company of warm, inclusive people who treat their colleagues exceptionally well. The kind of people who are committed to going out of their way to help other Stripes in the short-term and pushing them to improve over the long-term (by helping them to get better at what they do).

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Think about systems — their edge cases, failure modes, and lifecycles.
  • Comfortable building and supporting Tier 0 infrastructure.
  • Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production.
  • A metrics driven approach and can make informed decisions using data.
  • Able to write high quality code in a programming language (e.g. Ruby, Scala, Java, Go).
  • Make impactful decisions about systems and security — their edge cases, failure modes, and life cycles
