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

Stripe Terminal helps our users extend their online presence to the physical world. The Terminal team’s mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has done for online payments – building for Unified Commerce. With Terminal, businesses can unify their in-person and online experiences, unlocking payments use cases that are right for their business model – whether it’s creating a modern retail experience, extending their website to a pop-up store, or enabling a mobile point-of-sale at their next event.

Within Terminal, the Developer Productivity team empowers mobile, full-stack and embedded/firmware engineers to ship high-quality products quickly and safely. We build tools, processes and infrastructure that accelerate engineers across multiple teams. Our work is critical to supporting Stripe’s in-person payment products and, ultimately, to helping increase the GDP of the internet.

We own a diverse tech stack, including build and developer productivity tooling for mobile engineers; release tooling that enables Terminal releases across SDKs, Android apps and firmware; and test automation infrastructure that helps product engineers ensure the quality and reliability of what they ship. As an engineer on this team, you’ll shape and deliver major pieces of this tooling and infrastructure and help raise the bar for developer experience across Terminal.

What you’ll do

Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain tools, libraries and infrastructure that improve the productivity of Terminal engineers across mobile, backend and embedded systems.
  
• Collaborate closely with mobile engineers to understand their workflows and pain points and translate them into practical short-term and long-term solutions.
  
• Contribute to and improve our build, CI/CD and test automation systems for Terminal SDKs, Android apps and firmware.
  
• Work with stakeholders across Terminal to prioritize work, balance competing needs and ensure your solutions integrate cleanly into existing workflows.
  
• Own projects end-to-end, from problem discovery and design through implementation, rollout and ongoing operation.
  
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions and documentation to maintain a high bar for code quality, reliability and developer experience.
  
• Mentor other engineers in areas such as build, test and release best practices, helping to spread strong developer productivity practices across the team.

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful experience with backend systems and at least one of: Android/mobile or embedded/firmware development.
  
• Experience designing, implementing and maintaining production systems or developer tooling.

• Experience with CI/CD tooling and pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and modern build systems.
  
• Experience designing and maintaining automated testing infrastructure (e.g. integration/end-to-end tests, test orchestration, or reducing test flakiness).

• Experience in payments, point-of-sale, or hardware-integrated systems is a plus.
  

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.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $190,400 - $285,600. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
