Software Engineer, Security Business Enablement

Job Overview

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Security Business Enablement (SBE) team. SBE is Stripe's commercial security function, responsible for ensuring security and compliance requirements do not hinder business deals. You will design, build, and scale an AI-powered platform that provides validated answers to security questions on demand for sales teams and customers.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and scale an AI-powered platform that delivers validated answers to security questions on demand, replacing inconsistent ad-hoc responses with consistent, source-traceable ones.
• Build the retrieval, content pipeline orchestration, and integration layers that off-the-shelf tooling cannot deliver, including support for multiple cloud environments and Stripe's full and growing product portfolio.
• Build automations that keep security content current as Stripe rapidly adopts new technologies and introduces new controls.
• Build the capability to manage industry-standard certifications and assessment frameworks.
• Build analytics and evaluation capabilities that measure and continuously improve the performance and coverage of the security content library.
• Extend the same platform and knowledge base to power a public and authenticated Trust Center, giving customers direct self-service access to Stripe's security, privacy, resilience, and compliance posture.
• Partner with security analysts and stakeholders to expand coverage across Stripe's full security surface area.

Requirements

• 2+ years of software engineering experience building production systems.
• Strong coding skills in any programming language.
• Comfort working with retrieval-augmented architectures, content pipelines, and AI/LLM integrations.
• Experience building workflow automation, including scheduled jobs, approval routing, and multi-stakeholder review processes.
• Comfortable instrumenting systems and working with data to measure quality, coverage, and performance.
• Experience creating projects from scratch, taking ownership, and driving work to completion with minimal supervision.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with non-engineering stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building AI-driven products or workflows, particularly retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems or knowledge management platforms.
• Experience building evaluation frameworks for AI systems.
• Familiarity with cloud security concepts across AWS and/or Azure.
• Previous experience with security software engineering, compliance tooling, or GRC platforms.
• Familiarity with security assessment frameworks and standards.
