Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

Storage Integrations, part of Money Movement Integrations, builds and operates the connections between Stripe and our banking and financial technology partners. Our systems help businesses receive, hold, and move money through Stripe’s financial accounts and treasury products. We turn differences between financial partners into reliable capabilities that other Stripe teams can build on.

In this role you’ll work with engineering, product, and financial operations partners across Stripe. We build new integrations, extend existing ones to support new use cases, and develop shared components that make each integration easier to build and operate.

What you’ll do

You’ll work primarily on backend systems, with end-to-end ownership across partner integrations, shared infrastructure, and product APIs and workflows. Full-stack work here means following a feature across these layers to deliver a usable capability. You’ll coordinate designs and reviews with the teams that own each layer.

You’ll identify problems worth solving, scope and deliver projects with limited oversight, and help keep the systems you build reliable in production. Along the way, you’ll learn how money moves through financial networks and grow your impact across Stripe’s Money as a Service organization, with support from teammates and partner teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain integrations with banks and financial technology partners, and extend existing integrations to support new money movement capabilities
  • Own projects from understanding user needs and writing technical designs through implementation, testing, rollout, and production support
  • Work across integration, platform, and product layers to make new capabilities available through consistent APIs and workflows, coordinating designs and reviews with the teams that own those systems
  • Develop reusable components and tooling that reduce duplicated work across integrations and make future development and maintenance simpler
  • Build for financial correctness, security, and reliability through automated tests, monitoring, and safe handling of failures
  • Participate in the team’s on-call rotation after onboarding, investigate production issues across services, and improve runbooks and automation to prevent recurring problems
  • Contribute thoughtful code reviews and documentation, and use AI-assisted development tools while taking responsibility for understanding, testing, and maintaining the resulting code

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in building, shipping, and maintaining backend software in a production environment
  • Proficiency in Java or Ruby, or equivalent backend programming experience, including writing maintainable code and automated unit and integration tests
  • Experience independently scoping and delivering software projects, making technical tradeoffs, and seeking input when needed
  • Experience debugging distributed services across RPC APIs, asynchronous workflows, and persistent data, using technologies such as gRPC, Protocol Buffers, and Temporal or equivalent systems; understanding of retries, idempotency, and failure recovery
  • Ability to explain technical decisions clearly, collaborate across teams, and learn unfamiliar systems to deliver a solution

Preferred qualifications 

  • Experience integrating with third-party APIs or building reusable libraries, adapters, and developer tooling used across multiple services or teams
  • Experience building data-processing pipelines with Python, using technologies such as Apache Spark, Amazon S3, or Apache Iceberg
  • Experience implementing financial-account or money-movement workflows, such as virtual bank account provisioning, incoming payments, reversals, or transaction reconciliation
