Full Stack Engineer, Builder Experience

Job Description

The Builder Experience Team at Stripe makes it easier for product teams to build the right products, ship them with confidence, and help users realize value from them.

As a Full Stack Engineer on this team, you will identify high-friction parts of Stripe's product-development lifecycle, rapidly prototype new approaches, put them in the hands of real teams, and turn the strongest experiments into scaled solutions used by every product team at Stripe.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and building tools that help Stripe teams shape better products, ship with greater speed and confidence, and learn from users more quickly.
• Developing AI-native workflows and agents that synthesize context, automate repetitive work, surface risks, and help builders make better decisions.
• Owning projects end to end: identifying high-value problems, developing prototypes, testing them with users, measuring their impact, and scaling the approaches that work.
• Working across backend systems, data sources, internal platforms, and polished user-facing experiences.
• Partnering directly with product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, and cross-functional teams to understand how work happens in practice.
• Integrating with platforms such as Kai and Compass while identifying where new foundational capabilities are needed.
• Applying strong judgment to the use of sensitive internal context, including appropriate attention to security, privacy, permissions, and user trust.
• Helping define how the team operates, including its technical foundations, product-development practices, and standards for experimentation and quality.
• Contributing to the team's roadmap by identifying systemic sources of friction and opportunities to improve Stripe's product-development lifecycle.

Requirements

You will need:

• 5+ years of backend and/or full-stack software development experience
• Demonstrated technical experience leading the design and delivery of new product experiences from prototype to production
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, including experience building reliable backend services and polished user-facing product experiences
• Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments: framing problems, experimenting & adjusting, making right-sized technical decisions, and creating an actionable path forward
• Excellent cross-functional and cross-organizational collaboration skills, with the ability to align teams with different systems, priorities, and constraints
• Strong engineering judgment around system reliability, operational excellence, security, and maintainability
• A product-minded approach to engineering, with a focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for users and the business

Preferred Qualifications

We'd love to see:

• Experience with Java, Ruby, and/or TypeScript
• Experience delivering user-facing products at Stripe (Payments, MM, RevSuite, etc), or experience delivering user-facing products pre-dating Stripe
• Experience working on 0→1 products or taking new capabilities from concept through launch and iteration
