About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

About the team

The Transaction Risk organization optimizes each of the billions of dollars of transactions processed by Stripe annually on behalf of our users, maximizing successful transactions while minimizing payment costs and fraud. We own products like Radar end-to-end, building fast and scalable services and creating intuitive user experiences. We serve real-time predictions as part of Stripe's payment infrastructure and architect controls that leverage ML to optimally manage users' business.

What you'll do

As a Backend Engineer, you will design and build intuitive features that enable Radar users to meet their goals. You will think deeply about the fraud attacks these merchants face and build creative, powerful features to mitigate and prevent them. You will partner with many functions at Stripe, with the opportunity to both work on infrastructure/platform systems, as well as produce direct user-facing business impact.

For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate's experience, qualifications, and specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
