Who we are
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
The Developer Productivity group is responsible for making Stripe’s developers happy and productive. We work on tools, processes, and code refactoring to accelerate Stripe engineering as Stripe scales.
The ideal applicant will have familiarity with managing large-scale distributed compute infrastructure, tools such as Docker, ECR, Bazel and Firecracker, and a pragmatic approach to iterative problem-solving. Above all, they should be driven by a desire to continuously improve the development process for their fellow engineers.
You’ll collaborate closely with partner teams in Europe, such as CI Infra and CI Services, Test Environments and Frameworks, as well as partner teams based in the US who provide language specific tooling for Engineers who develop in any of Stripe’s supported languages (Ruby, Java, golang, python and more).
What you’ll do
We have a ton of important work to do, which is why we’re hiring! Our active projects change all the time, but here are a few examples of recent projects so you can get an idea of the types of work we do:
- Improve the reliability, performance and efficiency of Stripe’s multi-region CI platform. If you like thinking about distributed systems, identifying and addressing scaling issues and failure modes, you might find a good home on this team!
- If you love helping developers be more effective at their jobs, we have a ton of interesting projects around improving build reproducibility and performance using Bazel and related tools, both in a CI context and also in the inner development loop as engineers iterate on bug fixes or new capabilities.
- Enhance the reliability, speed and efficiency of our largest builds. One of the key ways to execute builds efficiently is to bake incrementality into every aspect of the build process. We have accomplished a significant amount in this area, but have a long way to go!
- Enhance the ability for Engineers to test new workflows on their local machines, and in CI.
Responsibilities
- Build large scale distributed systems, tools and libraries that serve as the interface to data infrastructure for all of Stripe’s engineering teams
- Maintaining and evolving existing distributed, and local, services.
- Collaborating with engineers on the team, as well as cross-functional stakeholders, to develop prototype solutions for domains which are underserved by existing tooling.
- Design, build, and maintain distributed cloud infrastructure services
- Participate in roadmap planning and prioritization. Stripe is an Engineer driven organization, and leans heavily on the expertise of each engineer team to build the roadmap for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
