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 Workflow Engine team makes it easy to write asynchronous, stateful workflows that are both reliable and fault-oblivious. Our platform abstracts away distributed system complexities and enables Stripe engineers to focus on the critical business logic they're responsible for. Workflows power products such as Stripe Capital, Billing, and Connect, as well as many mission critical control planes.
What you'll do
As a software engineer on the Workflow Engine team, your work will make asynchronous systems easy to build, resilient, and scalable. Your work will focus on building SDKs and infrastructure to support a distributed system that coordinates asynchronous workflows. As an engineer on the team, you enable key product features by enabling Stripe engineers to ergonomically create and maintain workflows. You will also support the reliability of the Workflow Engine system and help to improve the quality of its backing infrastructure.
Responsibilities
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
Hybrid work at Stripe
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
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.
A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.
