Full Stack Engineer, Builder Experience

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

The Builder Experience Team makes it easier for Stripe’s product teams to build the right products, ship them with confidence, and help users realize value from them.

What it asks for · 7

• 5+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience
• Demonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of new product experiences from prototype to production
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences.
• Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments: framing problems, experimenting & adjusting, making right-sized technical decisions, and creating an actionable path forward.
• Excellent cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration skills, with the ability to align teams with different systems, priorities, and constraints.
• Strong engineering judgment around system reliability, operational excellence, security, and maintainability.
• A product-minded approach to engineering, with a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for users and the business.

Also a plus

• Experience with Java, Ruby, and/or TypeScript. We care more about strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn than expertise in a particular language or framework.
• Experience delivering user facing products at Stripe (Payments, MM, RevSuite, etc), or experience delivering user facing products pre-dating Stripe.
• Experience working on 0→1 products or taking new capabilities from concept through launch and iteration.

What the job covers

• Design and build tools that help Stripe teams shape better products, ship with greater speed and confidence, and learn from users more quickly.
• Develop AI-native workflows and agents that synthesize context, automate repetitive work, surface risks, and help builders make better decisions.
• Own projects end to end: identify high-value problems, develop prototypes, test them with users, measure their impact, and scale the approaches that work.
• Work across backend systems, data sources, internal platforms, and polished user-facing experiences.
• Partner directly with product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, and cross-functional teams to understand how work happens in practice.
• Integrate with platforms such as Kai and Compass while identifying where new foundational capabilities are needed.
• Apply strong judgment to the use of sensitive internal context, including appropriate attention to security, privacy, permissions, and user trust.
• Help define how the team operates, including its technical foundations, product-development practices, and standards for experimentation and quality.
• Contribute to the team’s roadmap by identifying systemic sources of friction and opportunities to improve Stripe’s product-development lifecycle.
