About the team

Developers increasingly want to extend and customize Stripe. Using Stripe Apps, developers can build experiences that embed a custom UI within the Stripe Dashboard, call the Stripe API to create and modify Stripe data, bidirectionally sync data between Stripe and 3rd-party services, and more.

For example, , a SaaS provider, has created an app that syncs customer and product data with Stripe. The app is distributed via the and is available for anyone to install within their Stripe account.

There are over 165 apps in the app marketplace.

Enterprises can also extend the platform with Stripe Apps. For example, a large user has created a private app that allows their customer service representatives (CSR) to access a private support ticket system directly from the Stripe Dashboard.

This enables the CSR to view support tickets inline with their Stripe customer records and minimizes context switching.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, structuring ambiguous concepts clearly and from first principles
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts
• Demonstrated experience of leading initiatives across large engineering organizations, spanning multiple cross-functional teams to influence tech roadmap planning and execution

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.
