Company Description

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.
We look forward to hearing from you
At Stripe, we’re looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You’re encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn’t precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
Seeking: impatient, curious optimists
Stripe is for people who care about economic opportunity and the importance of the infrastructure that enables it.
Culture
Discover Stripe
Everything we do is centred on making it easier for businesses to bring useful products and services to people around the world. Free markets and entrepreneurship are a positive good, and the world would benefit from more of both. Stripe’s infrastructure undergirds more than 1% of global GDP, so we need the people who build and maintain it to be unremittingly focused on precision and quality. And since our ambitions for Stripe’s functionality far outstrip our product portfolio today, we also try to find people who are curious, energetic, and unusually efficacious.

Ambitious problem-solvers

Stripe straddles dichotomies. We’re a technology company and a financial services company. We think at planetary scale, and we’re obsessive about individual pixels and API parameters. We love blank sheet invention and creation, and we’re also passionate about the process discipline required to deploy 10,000+ times per day while maintaining more than five 9s of reliability. We want excellent outcomes, and we’re always in a hurry. We’re intense, and we greatly value kindness. If trying to solve for these tensions sounds like your cup of tea, you might enjoy Stripe.

Our operating principles

Stripe is macro-optimistic but micro-pessimistic. We regularly identify patterns of behaviour that we observe to be most effective among Stripes, and codify them in our operating principles so that everyone can benefit. Everything we do requires deep, multifunctional collaboration that is solidly rooted in our core values and beliefs.

Be well

We support employee success with comprehensive benefits. Our offerings include physical, mental, and medical health plans and programmes, financial advisory services, and family planning. We also provide rigorous onboarding and product training to help you get up to speed quickly and keep honing your craft.

Experience

The right people don’t always think they’re right

Successful Stripes are rigorous thinkers who appreciate that things worth doing are rarely simple. We want people who are not afraid to be wrong, who can enthusiastically back proposals they initially opposed, and who know how to support decisions with numbers and narrative. We operate in situations of substantial uncertainty and cannot afford either timidity or recklessness.

The global financial system can seem like a mystifying domain. It is not. It is composed of people and computers, just like many other systems you’ve worked on. Most Stripes don’t have a background in finance, and they’ve thrived here because they bring fresh perspectives. We want generalists capable of parachuting anywhere into our operations, learning about a field they have never touched before, and executing competently in areas far outside their formal remit.

We also want specialists who are already experts and want to spend several years advancing the state of the art in their fields.
We know that we cannot be successful without nurturing the careers of both generalists and the experts. People who thrive in high-conflict work environments often do not enjoy the experience here. We try to embrace kindness while still encouraging Stripes to take measured risks and act boldly, even in the absence of consensus.
