In the posting’s own words

Large, complex businesses on Stripe have historically had to create a new Stripe account for each global entity or business unit—making it difficult to unify reporting and manage payment operations across all accounts. Our customers want a way to manage these accounts under one umbrella so they can operate at scale more efficiently.

What it asks for · 5

  • 8+ years of experience in full-time software development roles
  • Experience as a technical lead by guiding your team, influencing its roadmap, and overseeing complex projects spanning multiple teams
  • Experience in both frontend and backend, with strong ability to work as a generalist across the stack
  • Thrive in a collaborative environment with other teams to identify high-impact ways of solving problems quickly
  • Excellent oral and written communication

Also a plus

  • You strive for simple solutions and designs over complex ones, and have a good intuition for what will last and scale well
  • Expertise working at the intersection of security and authentication systems, with the ability to drive partnerships with our Security and Fraud partner teams.
  • Strong understanding of IAM concepts, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and identity governance.
  • Experience building scalable, resilient, and observable systems while understanding UX best practices for the frontend
  • You can put yourself in the shoes of your users to understand their needs and fit that into the bigger picture
  • You stitch together many different services and processes, even if you have not worked with them before
  • Experience with building software for fellow developers

What the job covers

  • Build beautiful web experiences and secure full-stack authentication machinery that impacts millions of users
  • Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
  • Drive sound technical decision-making and lead technical conversations with other teams across Stripe
  • Shape your team’s culture, roadmap, and vision through your guidance, mentorship, foresight, and technical and social expertise.
  • As a leader within Engineering, assist with growth and development of your team and organization while maintaining a high bar for excellence and technical curiosity
