In the posting’s own words

Our team owns open-source SDKs that reflect the Stripe API in seven different programming languages. A vast majority of server-side Stripe integrations are built using our open-source SDKs. Our team also owns an in-house code generation framework, which we use to generate not just the SDKs, but the code snippets in our documentation and the commands in Stripe Shell, which is an in-browser version of the Stripe CLI.

  • 6+ years in engineering across a wide range of products
  • 3+ years of experience as a Golang software engineer
  • An interest in working with multiple programming languages
  • A passion for API design and developer experience

Also a plus

  • Experience in PHP and Ruby
  • Experience building libraries and/or SDKs
  • Knowledge of Open API spec and protobuf

What the job covers

  • Be the Golang expert on the team, representing the needs of the Golang community and ensuring we build experiences that are idiomatic
  • Use your Node.js expertise to improve our code generation framework and work toward a future where we open source it to make it easier for third-party Stripe SDK owners to maintain their libraries
  • Collaborate with various Stripe teams to release their APIs in the SDKs and improve the efficiency of the release process
  • Help streamline the API authoring process at Stripe
  • Support our users reaching out to us on the open-source GitHub repositories for our SDKs
