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

Developer Products builds tools that empower our developer users to build and integrate with Stripe. We aim to create new tools and experiences that can solve hard problems for our developer users that still give them meaningful and high-leverage ways for them to integrate. Our surface area ranges from installable tools like the Stripe CLI and Stripe for VS Code, to hosted surfaces like the Developer Dashboard and Stripe Shell, to backend services like a websocket multiplexor for event streaming.
