About the team

Our Growth team is on a mission to acquire, convert and grow millions of merchants globally across Stripe’s full suite of financial products. We are a cross functional team of engineers, scientists, marketers, designers and product managers that deliver the insights, algorithms, internal systems and tools, and user-facing experiences that fuel Stripe’s growth. In short we make it easy for people to act on their interest in Stripe.

As part of the Growth Engineering team, you will build and own the systems, products, internal tools, and customer-facing experiences that power intelligence behind our go-to-market and product-led growth. This includes building our ML powered recommendations and growth experimentation engine(s), multi-channel notifications systems, and key growth-related customer experiences (e.g., onboarding experiences, user dashboards, product recommendations). 

What you’ll doResponsibilities

• Partner closely with other engineers and scientists to build highly scalable, ML driven system(s), help run experiments, and surface insights across all points of customer interactions.
• Create beautiful web surfaces and interactive dashboard experiences using technologies such as React, JavaScript, CSS and GraphQL. Build the APIs that power these experiences, defining composable data models and durable interfaces.
• Scope, design, and lead technical projects, laying the groundwork for early-stage products to iteratively evolve and scale.
• Ensure our UI components and libraries are reliable, secure, extensible and accessible.
• Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack with an eye towards improving maintainability over the long term.
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
