Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Stripe as an employer.

What you need

  • Deep experience building and maintaining a production system at scale
  • An understanding of modern API development best practices and design
  • Experience in building data models, managing database migrations and best practices, and infrastructure configuration
  • An ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • A growth mindset, a constant curiosity, and fearlessness to dive into the unknown
  • An ability to write maintainable, well-tested, modular code, but also be pragmatic about moving fast

Nice to have

  • Experience in an API-driven business within payments, fintech, or crypto
  • Built or contributed to open-source developer tooling
  • Published work (open source code, talks, blog posts, etc.)
  • Experience working with blockchain protocols and designing or interacting with smart contracts
  • Experience in authentication, identity, or security

Worth weighing

  • The technology stack includes Node, React, and AWS, which may be considered legacy by some.
  • The role involves a high urgency environment with a focus on rapid iteration, which may not suit everyone.
