Software Engineer, New Grad

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.
• 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.
• Clear written communication skills.
• Ability to leverage AI tools to accelerate development.

Preferred Qualifications

• One or more areas of specialized knowledge (frontend, backend, infrastructure or other technologies).
• Experience in code review practices.
• Familiarity with navigating and managing work in large code bases.
• Experience leading small projects independently.
• Ability to operate with high agency in navigating complex technical obstacles independently.
