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 Core Infrastructure organization at Stripe is in charge of building and operating infrastructure services and cloud technologies used by product teams to launch new product offerings and features which support our business. This includes defining and driving the vision necessary to achieve best in class scale and availability. We continuously invest in building new distributed services and scaling existing technologies while working with various teams to meet their current and future needs.

The High Assurance Engineering team within the Core Infrastructure organization is responsible for ensuring traffic makes it from the internet to our software safely and transparently to other engineers at Stripe, while also protecting Stripe from external threats (e.g. DDOS). This platform and infrastructure sits at the intersection between our secure cardholder data environment (CDE) and the rest of Stripe. We securely tokenize, encrypt, and store cardholder data, expose interfaces for Stripe engineers to work safely and compliantly with this data, and connect with credit card networks. We leverage modern encryption primitives to build state of the art integrations with our financial partner's systems. When this team operates well, we enable efficient and predictable expansion through the world. We act as a force multiplier by allowing Stripe engineers to build advanced, innovative products that take full advantage of our partners' unique systems, while improving global financial security.

Hybrid work at Stripe
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
