You will own end‑to‑end software projects, designing, building, testing, rolling out, and operating reliable APIs and backend‑for‑frontend services that power Stripe’s Dashboard and other UI experiences.
The team seeks engineers with 2+ years of production software experience, strong backend fundamentals (APIs, data storage, distributed systems), and fluency in AI‑assisted development tools, plus solid communication and collaboration skills.
These services enable consistent, scalable UI experiences across Stripe’s products, support critical user paths, and drive the modernization of the company’s UI architecture, directly impacting millions of merchants.
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.
The UI Platform team, known as Sail, builds the foundations behind Stripe’s Dashboard and many other user interfaces. Sail Services owns the systems that evaluate feature flags and experiments, ingest frontend analytics, and improve Dashboard load times for Stripe’s largest merchants.
We build backend-for-frontend capabilities that connect Stripe’s backend systems to its UI platform. This gives product teams a consistent way to build and operate user experiences without recreating the same infrastructure.
As a Backend Engineer on the Sail Services team, you’ll help build and evolve the systems that power Stripe’s user interfaces. You’ll independently drive software projects from problem definition through production, working closely with other UI Platform engineers, product teams, and infrastructure partners. Your work will range from APIs and GraphQL integrations to edge systems, architectural migrations, and the tooling needed to operate them safely at scale.
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
