Financial Data Analyst Intern, Technical Operations

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

The APAC Payments TechOps team ensures the accuracy of financial data flowing through Stripe's payment infrastructure, manages aging balances, maintains compliance with partner and regulatory requirements, and builds tooling to detect and resolve data quality issues at scale. Through the internship, you will work with real financial data, gain experience in payments data analysis and operational problem-solving, and have opportunities to present your work to your team and the wider org. Each intern has a dedicated intern manager, and every project is part of the team's roadmap and will directly help Stripe's mission.

• Ambitious builder: You’re energized by building solutions without clear precedent and solving problems with far-reaching consequences. Successful Stripes are deeply curious, and prefer the joy of discovery to the comfort of certainty.
• Rigorous thinker: You appreciate that things worth doing are rarely simple. You enjoy working on problems that have never been tackled before.
• Adaptable problem solver: You adapt quickly and treat obstacles as opportunities. At Stripe we embrace kindness while encouraging Stripes to take measured risks and act boldly, even in the absence of consensus.
