Who we areAbout 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

Large, complex businesses on Stripe have historically had to create a new Stripe account for each global entity or business unit—making it difficult to unify reporting and manage payment operations across all accounts. Our customers want a way to manage these accounts under one umbrella so they can operate at scale more efficiently. 

We are responsible for building Organizations, which allows merchants to effectively and centrally manage their businesses across multiple Stripe accounts. As Stripe continues to grow its suite of product offerings beyond payments, Organizations will unlock a new phase of growth for Stripe. We will do this by enabling our platforms and businesses to model their complex businesses and distribute all of Stripe’s products to their end users.

What you’ll do

As a leader on the User Auth Experience team, you will help shape the team’s vision and roadmap, guide and mentor your peers, and lead by example. Authentication, Login, and general Account Security experiences are deeply cross-cutting areas at Stripe with critical security, safety, and quality considerations. You will work with many partner teams: peer engineering organizations to build robust/reusable/standardized access controls, as well as non-engineer groups to shape the security, beauty, and usability of the end-to-end journey of Stripe account authentication. You’ll play a major role in Stripe’s defense strategy, keeping users and data protected from fraudulent activity through intelligently assessing risk and refining user workflows accordingly. 

As an engineer on the team, you’ll directly build well-tested APIs, UX/UI pieces, and analytics engines for defining and measuring the full-stack Dashboard authentication story, elevating the experience for every end user. By creating and expanding these account management “building blocks”, you’ll build out a generalized authentication platform that can be leveraged to bring best-in-class usability and security to multiple Stripe-owned surfaces—multiplying the efforts of product teams to more quickly and confidently build safe, controlled features.    

Responsibilities
  • Build beautiful web experiences and secure full-stack authentication machinery that impacts millions of users
  • Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation
  • Drive sound technical decision-making and lead technical conversations with other teams across Stripe
  • Shape your team’s culture, roadmap, and vision through your guidance, mentorship, foresight, and technical and social expertise.
  • As a leader within Engineering, assist with growth and development of your team and organization while maintaining a high bar for excellence and technical curiosity
