Full Stack Engineer, Collaboration

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 Collaboration team helps Stripe employees work smarter, find information and share knowledge, get to know each other, and request and receive help from one another. Many of our solutions come together in Stripe Home, our custom-built intranet (read more about it here: https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-home). The team is small and nimble, and works across a wide stack: on any given day, we discuss user interface design, data models, API design, infrastructure maintenance, search relevance, or all of the above. We’re excited to innovate in a space that traditionally isn’t thought of in the forefront of innovation.

Being a small team, we carefully choose what we work on to have the highest leverage. This is not always easy: we work very cross-functionally, at times partnering with various groups from engineering to HR to top management of the company. But one of our greatest rewards is getting to sit next to and see the impact our work has on our users: our fellow Stripe employees.

• Use both qualitative and quantitative metrics to determine priorities and measure effectiveness.
• Uphold Stripe’s high standards for engineering and product quality and mentor newer team members to do the same.
