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.

About the team
Stripe Infrastructure is responsible for the reliability, scale, performance, and cost of Stripe's systems, as well as the productivity and sentiment of Stripe's people.
We continuously invest in building new distributed services and scaling existing technologies while working with various teams to meet their current and future needs.
Stripe's infrastructure powers businesses all over the world.
We process payments, run marketplaces, help entrepreneurs start an internet business from anywhere in the world, and more.
The Infrastructure organization is composed of teams that manage mission-critical platforms and infrastructure services that power all of Stripe.
You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas, including:
Core Infrastructure: We're the home for Stripe's critical tier-0 infrastructure systems (Compute, Networking, DocumentDB, Distributed Caching, and High Assurance Engineering).
We build the foundational platform for Stripe products and services to allow them to operate at scale.
We drive reliability, availability, efficiency, and scalability of these systems.
Developer Infrastructure: We're responsible for the productivity of all developers at Stripe.
We build and manage infrastructure to ensure Stripe's engineers have a highly observable, reliable, fast, and easy-to-use inner dev loop to maximize productivity while building and running everything from low-latency microservices to large-scale data pipelines and machine learning models.
Reliability Insights and Excellence: We build tools and frameworks to introspect and improve reliability across Stripe.
Admin Platform: We empower Stripe teams to quickly build secure and delightful internal products in service of their users.
Support Experience: We build and improve our 24x7 email, phone, and chat support channels, our Premium Support and Enterprise Services products, our Support Site, and more.
This includes how users get help within our products, how they get in touch with us when they have questions, and how our teams use internal tools to answer those questions.
Service Platform: We enable engineering teams at Stripe to easily write and ship useful services that correctly, reliably, and efficiently leverage platform capabilities.

Who you are
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.
Minimum requirements
Professional experience in a software development role.
Experience using one of the major cloud providers.
A strong engineering background in building platform services and/or distributed systems at scale.
Experience developing, maintaining, and debugging distributed systems.
Experience with operational excellence.
Preferred qualifications
Experience optimizing the end-to-end performance of distributed systems.
Focus on the needs of our users, both internal and external.
Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production.
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users.
This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices.
While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office.
Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location.
We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.
The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is €83,200 - €156,000.
This range may change if you are hired in another location.
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.
Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant's location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process.
Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.
