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 Web Presence and Platform team at Stripe is a group of interactive designers, front-end specialists, strategists, platform engineers, and every skill set in-between. We design and build what is, for many, their first impression of Stripe. We want to make every pixel count. We want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Stripes seamlessly benefit from our systematic work.As an engineer on the Platform side of Web Presence and Platform, you’ll build out integrations with our various systems such as our headless CMS, help build our performant rendering stack, tailor our CI, and design and build internal tools designed to make authoring our site as fun and exciting as viewing it.

You’ll work on some of the most venturesome sites and projects on the Internet to help us communicate what Stripe is all about, like stripe.com and stripe.com/sessions. You may even work on this jobs board. The frameworks you help build will be used by your Web Presence and Platform teammates and coworkers throughout Stripe to enable them to build pages that are high quality and error-free by default. Our particular contribution to the site is at the intersection of design, technology and business needs. It is a rare and exciting opportunity to to represent all those facets of software as part of the regular day-to-day on this team. 

What you’ll do

You’ll architect your work with rendering performance and scalability in mind, and implement abstractions that other engineers consume and build upon. At other times you’ll work closely with folks in our Presence group to scope and implement tooling and infrastructure that helps other people build pages using your code.
