Who we are About Stripe

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.

About the team

Our Revenue and Finance Automation (RFA) suite gives businesses power over the entire life cycle of their cash flow. By coordinating billing, tax, reporting, and data services in one modern stack, Stripe’s revenue and finance automation suite eliminates the inefficiencies of legacy finance tools and supports revenue growth.

What you’ll do

Our strategic initiatives comprise a wide spectrum of problems that include the augmentation of our data infrastructure's stability, conception of a robust data layer for aggregation and enrichment, architectural advancements to reduce latency, enabling real-time streaming for our previously batch based systems, reducing infra and computing expenditure, building long term abstractions and modular primitives to help improve integrations with the downstream products at Stripe.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems across Stripe’s engineering teams.
• Partner with the Revenue Recognition, Revenue Reporting and Reconciliation Product teams to understand their unique requirements related to data and reporting, and provide tailored technical support accordingly.
