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. We build distributed systems on top of unreliable architecture to provide highly available and resilient customer solutions. This team is creating greenfield solutions which will serve as the basis for Stripe’s architecture 5, 10, or 20 years into the future.

This is a distributed team with many remote engineers. You will help develop our global architecture by combining less-available components and data centers into a highly available and resilient whole. You will work on latency-critical solutions where every millisecond matters and data redundancy is a hard requirement. You will learn quickly and work on a broad range of problems - one day may be investigating Mongo write concerns, the next may be minimizing cross-region TLS handshakes, followed by developing new systems to automate disaster detection and failovers. Your work will enable Stripe to increase the GDP of the internet by providing uptime and data protection which have historically been impossible.
