Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

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 Startup Products team builds Stripe Atlas and other products that help founders start and run a company from anywhere in the world. We believe startups are one of the most effective ways to solve the world’s problems, and we want to give founders a running start—and keep them running.
We help founders form companies, raise capital, execute critical legal agreements, access the internet’s best tools, and automate their operations while feeling ambitious, smart, and assured. Our goal is to help more startups reach product-market fit, faster.
Our team comprises high-agency, high-ownership product thinkers who genuinely care about founders. Everyone is responsible for making our products the best they can be and ensuring our roadmap contains the highest-impact work for our users.
We have a broad and ambitious roadmap spanning global company formation, legal and financial workflows, AI-enabled operations, and products beyond Atlas. Delivering it requires strong technical leadership to shape future investments, de-risk complex initiatives, and build durable partnerships across Stripe.
As a Staff Software Engineer on Startup Products, you will shape the technical strategy for the team while leading major 0→1 products from early exploration through launch and iteration.

You will work across product surfaces, services, APIs, data models, and integrations with internal and external systems. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Legal, Data, Operations, and engineering teams across Stripe to create experiences that make complex and consequential tasks feel simple and trustworthy for founders.
