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 team is fundamentally responsible for everything S3 at Stripe. There is a lot to unpack there but fundamentally this team is responsible for building and maintaining the services and libraries that Stripe uses to control access, manipulate, and lifecycle data in S3. There is a significant amount of engineering (design and coding) necessary to make this a reality both in maintaining an existing (but new) codebase and building new services and features. The team is remote and distributed across Europe.
What you’ll do
You will be a contributor to the evolution of our platform and how Stripe uses S3 in the future and building out a company wide authorization service accessing S3. As an Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building and maintaining the storage infrastructure used by all of Stripe’s engineering teams.
We’re looking for people with a strong background and demonstrated leadership in data platform technologies, ideally within the offline storage lifecycle space.

- Build and maintain the infrastructure which powers the core of Stripe.
