Description
Job Description
Stripe is a technology company focused on improving the conditions for economic growth and prosperity.
We build programmable financial infrastructure, rethinking from first principles how financial services should work, to make it easier and cheaper for any business to start and scale.
You will be part of a team that is large enough to deploy individual products and projects to a meaningful fraction of the world's businesses, but small enough that individual agency still has outsized impact.
Responsibilities
As a Software Engineer, New Grad at Stripe, you will:
- Be an ambitious builder, energized by building solutions without clear precedent and solving problems with far-reaching consequences.
- Be a rigorous thinker, appreciating that things worth doing are rarely simple, and enjoying working on problems that have never been tackled before.
- Be an adaptable problem solver, adapting quickly and treating obstacles as opportunities.
Requirements
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science or a directly related field, obtained by summer 2027, or equivalent work experience.
- Experience and familiarity with programming, either through side projects or classwork, particularly in Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Scala, and Go.
- Experience from either previous internships or working collaboratively on multi-person coding projects.
- Ability to learn unfamiliar systems and form an understanding of those systems, through independent research and working with a mentor or subject matter experts.
- Clear written communication skills, with the ability to explain your work to stakeholders, team members, and other Stripes.
- Ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate development while applying rigorous critical thinking and professional judgement to review, refine, and validate all outputs.
Preferred Qualifications
- One or more areas of specialized knowledge (frontend, backend, infrastructure or other technologies) balanced with general skills and knowledge.
- Experience in code review practices, and an understanding of how to safely update production systems.
- Familiarity with navigating and managing work in large code bases.
- Experience leading small projects independently, and contributing to larger projects alongside peers.
- Ability to operate with high agency in navigating complex technical obstacles independently, knowing precisely when to unblock oneself and when to ask for help.
