Stripe · San Francisco, Seattle, New York
About this role
## 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. **About the team** [Link](https://stripe.com/payments/link) helps Stripe’s merchants deliver frictionless and secure checkout experiences by auto-filling customers’ payment information, letting customers check out in seconds, and pay in one click across the Link merchant network. ## What you’ll do We’re hiring a **Staff Software Engineer** to lead the design and delivery of new money-movement capabilities in Link. You’ll take ambiguous product opportunities and turn them into reliable, scalable, and intuitive experiences for consumers and merchants. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with broad technical and organizational scope. You’ll own large, cross-functional projects from early product and technical definition through launch and iteration; lead teams of engineers through complex execution; and partner closely with the many Stripe systems and teams that make money movement possible. You’ll work across the stack—building services and APIs as well as the user experiences that expose those capabilities. The work may involve modern financial infrastructure (including stablecoin-enabled capabilities) and will require sound judgment around safety, reliability, compliance, and user trust. You’ll make architectural decisions that let the balance model scale globally and help raise the engineering bar as the team grows. ## Responsibilities - Lead the technical strategy, architecture, and execution for large, ambiguous Link initiatives that create new money-movement primitives. - Own projects end to end: clarify the problem, define an incremental technical plan, align stakeholders, drive delivery, launch safely, and use results to guide further investment. - Build robust, scalable backend services and high-quality consumer-facing experiences across **Java, Ruby, and TypeScript**. - Lead a project team of engineers through execution, creating clarity on priorities, decisions, risks, and delivery milestones. - Partner with Product, Design, Data Science, Risk, Infrastructure, and other Stripe teams to build capabilities that are safe, reliable, and useful. - Navigate dependencies across Stripe’s payments and money-movement platforms, making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, user experience, operational reliability, and durable technical foundations. - Raise the engineering bar through technical leadership, design reviews, mentoring, and constructive feedback. - Help shape the team’s longer-term roadmap by identifying opportunities and technical direction.
