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
The Money Movement team is working toward a future in which all of the complexity that comes with handling money (e.g. accepting different currencies, adopting new payment methods, integrating with hundreds of banks globally) is hidden from Stripe’s users. This team is core to Stripe’s business and thousands of developers will use our platform and infrastructure to create valuable products and services that billions of people use.
Our team is responsible for building out the platform that powers money movement for many of Stripe’s Products like Connect, Issuing, and Corporate Card. Ultimately, our goal is to increase the GDP of the internet by making it easy to build global products, services, and platforms that handle money.
What you’ll do
The Money Movement team is currently looking for Backend Engineers to help build the platform that will shape how Stripe moves money at a global scale. Engineers will work across the stack, from the core financial APIs that all of Stripe’s products are built on—like transfers, payouts, and top-ups—to the financial integrations we rely on to move billions of dollars in countries around the world. The team also runs infrastructure that abstracts payment networks globally to expose capabilities for moving money with a variety of characteristics like speed, currency and cost. We are responsible to ensure that money gets to its destination quickly, reliably and in a cost effective manner.
