Job Description
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. Stripe powers businesses all over the world. We process payments, run marketplaces, detect fraud, help entrepreneurs start a business from anywhere in the world, build world-class developer-friendly APIs, and more. Nearly every system we operate interacts with sensitive financial or personal data — making security a top priority for Stripe. Stripe will succeed at our mission of increasing the GDP of the internet only if we prove ourselves worthy of our users' trust. As an engineer on the Security team, you will design and develop frameworks, systems, and solutions to ensure the security of Stripe's engineering infrastructure and, most importantly, privacy of our users' data. The Cloud Security team accelerates Stripe's business priorities by building core security controls and services that empower teams to build quickly and securely on top of a well-governed cloud platform and partnering with infrastructure teams to advance select critical business priorities using novel infrastructure or integrations as that platform expands.
