Design, build, and deploy highly‑available distributed services, troubleshoot latency‑critical components, and prototype disaster‑detection and failover systems.
10+ years of distributed, cloud‑native software development at scale, proven technical leadership across teams, and strong mentorship experience.
Your work ensures Stripe’s core payment platform stays up, protects data, and enables the company to increase the internet’s GDP by delivering resilient, low‑latency services.
Seasoned engineers who thrive on autonomy, enjoy collaborating with diverse stakeholders, and have a track record of leading large, mission‑critical projects.
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.
In this role, you will be joining the High Availability and Disaster Recovery team. At Stripe, availability is a core feature of our products. This team designs and builds new solutions to allow latency-critical, stateful applications to survive any type of disaster. We build distributed systems on top of unreliable architecture to provide highly available and resilient customer solutions. This team is creating greenfield solutions which will serve as the basis for Stripe’s architecture 5, 10, or 20 years into the future.
This is a distributed team with many remote engineers. You are encouraged to apply if you meet the minimum requirements and are able to work from anywhere in the United States or Canada.
You will help develop our global architecture by combining less-available components and data centers into a highly available and resilient whole. You will work on latency-critical solutions where every millisecond matters and data redundancy is a hard requirement. You will learn quickly and work on a broad range of problems - one day may be investigating Mongo write concerns, the next may be minimizing cross-region TLS handshakes, followed by developing new systems to automate disaster detection and failovers. Your work will enable Stripe to increase the GDP of the internet by providing uptime and data protection which have historically been impossible.
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.
