About Stripe

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.

About the team

Stripe’s Developer Experience & Product Platform (DEeP) organization empowers all of Stripe's products with a shared product platform that helps with rapidly delivering high-quality, cross-product experiences across our UI and API surfaces. It focuses on providing a consistent and scalable developer experience that any developer (both internal and external) can leverage to accelerate a merchant’s ability to create value using Stripe.

You may work on a wide variety of critical business areas including:

Merchant Experience: This team builds much of the backend and frontend platform that powers the Stripe Dashboard. Millions of businesses use the Dashboard every day to manage their operations, and thousands of Stripes build product experiences in the Dashboard to enable these businesses to succeed.

Organizations & Authentication Platform (OAP): This team is responsible for building Organizations, which allows merchants to effectively and centrally manage their businesses across multiple Stripe accounts. It also maintains the authentication platform, which powers the authentication experience for the Stripe dashboard and all products hosted on it. As Stripe continues to grow its suite of product offerings beyond payments, Organizations will unlock a new phase of growth for Stripe. We will do this by enabling our platforms and businesses to model their complex businesses and distribute all of Stripe’s products to their end users.  

Developer Platform: This team builds Stripe's API platform and external developer experience. They focus on external merchants and how they communicate with Stripe – via SDK, docs, and developer tools such as Workbench and sandboxes.

Team Matching Note: Matching you with one of the sub-teams within DEeP will begin during the final stage of the interview process.
