About the role
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
We're creating an entirely new payments platform, built with stablecoins, to simplify global money movement. Bridge enables faster, cheaper payments and borderless access to dollars via stablecoins. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders faster and cheaper vs. SWIFT and other fiat-only rails. Our virtual accounts enable international consumers and businesses to easily access, store, and spend US dollars. Our payouts infrastructure enables platforms to disburse USD to anyone globally. We believe many trillions of dollars will move and settle through stablecoin payment rails. Bridge is pulling this future forward.
We have a small team of people who have previously built financial infrastructure at some of the world's leading companies (Coinbase, Stripe, Square, Brex, Upstart, DoorDash, Airbnb), and each and every one of them chose Bridge because they fundamentally believe that stablecoins will be a critical piece of financial infrastructure that allows for the improvement of global money movement.
What you'll do
We're hiring a Security Analyst and Program Manager to build and scale the Bridge security foundation. This is a rare opportunity to design the security governance, risk, and compliance programs from the ground up, while also leveraging the infrastructure, best practices, and tooling of one of the most mature security organizations in the industry.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement Bridge security governance, risk, and compliance roadmaps from first principles to production.
- Identify and tackle the most important Bridge security risks quickly and pragmatically.
- Adopt Stripe programs, controls, and processes where it makes sense, and find custom approaches where it doesn't.
- Lead risk assessment, control design, and testing for all security and technology oversight globally.
- Reinforce engineering best practices around secure development and infrastructure.
- Ensure Bridge meets compliance and audit expectations as we scale to more regulated markets.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and the Stripe security organization to move fast without compromising safety.

- Comfort with ambiguity and ability to ruthlessly prioritize.
- Ability to balance security rigor with speed, especially in fast-moving environments.
- Clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Hybrid work at Stripe
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
In-office expectations
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.
Working remotely at Stripe
A remote location 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 live or plan to live.
