The Funding team builds products which allow our users to move money into Stripe. After credit cards, we’re the number one way money moves into Stripe and are responsible for processing billions of dollars around the world; operating mission-critical services.
Our products are foundational to Stripe and enable Payments, Issuing and Connect users to top-up their Stripe balances. We support some of the largest businesses running on Stripe today and are building for the next generation. We’re shipping new APIs and products to power the future of Stripe, expanding our existing capabilities to new markets and re-engineering for increased scale and stability.
Our team collaborates across North America and the UK with primary locations in Toronto and London.
What you’ll do
As a backend engineer, you’ll design, build and operate APIs, features and services. You’ll work within a team of engineers and collaborate with cross-functional partners to scope new products, support users and ship high quality products.
Responsibilities
• Scope and lead technical projects, laying the groundwork for our products to iteratively evolve and scale
• Design, build, expand and maintain APIs and services
• Support our users and keep our systems reliable and performant
• Align our technical decisions with Stripe’s broad strategic initiatives, while also advocating for needs specific to emerging new businesses
• Work with engineers across the company to understand when existing infrastructure can be leveraged vs. when building a bespoke solution is prudent
• Develop and execute against both short and long-term roadmaps. Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
• Produce high level internal and external documentation
• Mentor and provide support to other team members
Who you are
We’re looking for software engineers with experience building APIs and scalable distributed systems in service based architecture.
Minimum Requirements

• A passion for API design and amazing product experiences
• Experience building and operating highly reliable services
• Work well cross-functionally and earn trust from co-workers at all levels
• Hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems
• Take pride ownership and driving projects to business impact
• Solve problems autonomously; ability to research a technical or product domain and apply your knowledge when designing and scoping projects
Hybrid work at Stripe
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.
Pay and benefits
The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is £81,200 - £156,000. This range may change if you are hired in another location. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process.
