In the posting’s own words
To meet this moment, we’re looking for people who move with urgency, like hard problems, and want their work to matter at a time of great change. If that’s you, there’s no better place to build your career.
What it asks for · 9
- 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.
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science or a directly related field, obtained by summer 2027, or equivalent work experience; New grad candidates should have no more than 18 months of professional experience (excluding internship experience).
- Experience and familiarity with programming, either through side projects or classwork. We believe new programming languages can be learned if the fundamentals and general knowledge are present.
- Experience from either previous internships or working collaboratively on multi-person coding projects (in a university or professional setting).
- Ability to learn unfamiliar systems and form an understanding of those systems, through independent research and working with a mentor or subject matter experts.
- Clear written communication skills, with the ability to explain your work to stakeholders, team members, and other Stripes.
- Ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate development while applying rigorous critical thinking and professional judgement to review, refine, and validate all outputs.
Also a plus
- One or more areas of specialized knowledge (frontend, backend, infrastructure, firmware, embedded software or other technologies) balanced with general skills and knowledge
- Experience in code review practices, and an understanding of how to safely update production systems.
- Familiarity with navigating and managing work in large code bases.
- Experience leading small projects independently, and contributing to larger projects alongside peers.
- Ability to operate with high agency in navigating complex technical obstacles independently, knowing precisely when to unblock oneself and when to ask for help.
