## Description

This is a 12-week internship for exceptional high school students and recent graduates to work on a scoped engineering project in Stripe's San Francisco or Seattle office.

You will own a problem end-to-end, contribute to Stripe's codebase, and learn how engineers build reliable systems used by millions of businesses.

Responsibilities:

- Participate fully in the team you join, including team discussions, decisions, and the technical design process.

- Write, test, and document software intended for production use by Stripe teams and users.

- Give and receive technical feedback through code reviews and design discussions.

- Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional partners to seek and incorporate feedback.

- Learn unfamiliar systems through independent research and close work with your manager, mentor, teammates, and subject matter experts.

- Communicate the status of your work clearly, including progress, risks, open questions, and where you need help.

- Use current AI development tools thoughtfully while applying rigorous judgment to review, refine, test, and validate outputs.

What We Look For:

- Ambitious builder: You are energized by building solutions without a clear precedent and working through difficult technical problems.

- Rigorous thinker: You care about whether your work is correct, not just whether it runs.

- Adaptable problem solver: You learn quickly, respond well to feedback, and keep making progress when the path is unclear.

- Collaborative teammate: You communicate clearly, treat others with kindness, and know when to work independently and when to ask for help.

Minimum requirements:

- Currently enrolled in high school, or graduating from high school before the internship begins.

- Available to work full-time and in person from Stripe's San Francisco or Seattle office for 12 consecutive weeks during a mutually agreed period between May and August 2027.

- Experience programming through independent projects, research, coursework, competitions, open source contributions, a startup, or another setting.

- Evidence of exceptional technical achievement for your stage.

- Ability to explain your individual contribution to the work you submit.

- Experience working with others on a technical project and incorporating feedback from peers, mentors, teachers, users, or collaborators.

- Clear written and verbal communication.

Preferred qualifications:

- One or more areas of deeper technical knowledge, such as frontend, backend, infrastructure, data, machine learning, security, or developer tools.

- Experience writing high-quality pull requests, tests, technical documentation, or design notes.

- Familiarity navigating an unfamiliar codebase or contributing to a multi-person project.

- A record of sustained technical work over time.

- Curiosity about how businesses operate and how software can improve the conditions for economic growth.

What to submit:

- A resume or short summary of your technical experience.

- In that summary please include one or two examples of your strongest work.

- For each example, a short explanation of the problem, what you personally contributed, the hardest technical decision, how you tested the work, and what you learned.
