Full Stack Engineer, Builder Experience

Details

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. The Builder Experience Team makes it easier for Stripe's product teams to build the right products, ship them with confidence, and help users realize value from them.

The team is an AI-native group reimagining how Stripe builds, ships, and ramps products through AI agents, automation, and improved processes. Its focus areas include launch readiness, providing product teams with richer context, and shortening feedback loops between builders, users, Sales, and Support.

Responsibilities

• Design and build tools that help Stripe teams shape better products, ship with greater speed and confidence, and learn from users more quickly.
• Develop AI-native workflows and agents that synthesize context, automate repetitive work, surface risks, and help builders make better decisions.
• Own projects end to end, including identifying high-value problems, developing prototypes, testing them with users, measuring impact, and scaling successful approaches.
• Work across backend systems, data sources, internal platforms, and polished user-facing experiences.
• Partner with product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, and cross-functional teams to understand how work happens in practice.
• Integrate with platforms such as Kai and Compass while identifying where new foundational capabilities are needed.
• Apply sound judgment when using sensitive internal context, with attention to security, privacy, permissions, and user trust.
• Help define the team's technical foundations, product-development practices, experimentation methods, and quality standards.
• Contribute to the roadmap by identifying systemic sources of friction and opportunities to improve Stripe's product-development lifecycle.

Requirements

Minimum Requirements

• 5+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience.
• Demonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of new product experiences from prototype to production.
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences.
• Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments by framing problems, experimenting and adjusting, making appropriately scoped technical decisions, and creating actionable paths forward.
• Excellent cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration skills, with the ability to align teams with different systems, priorities, and constraints.
• Strong engineering judgment related to system reliability, operational excellence, security, and maintainability.
• A product-minded approach to engineering, focused on delivering meaningful outcomes for users and the business.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Java, Ruby, and/or TypeScript. Strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn are valued more than expertise in a particular language or framework.
• Experience delivering user-facing products at Stripe, including Payments, MM, or RevSuite, or experience delivering user-facing products before joining Stripe.
• Experience working on 0-to-1 products or taking new capabilities from concept through launch and iteration.
