Who We Are

About Stripe Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead.

That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About The Team

The Product Security Data Platforms team is a newly established engineering team within Stripe Security. Our mission is to build the foundational infrastructure that provides our users with unprecedented visibility into the security posture of their Stripe integration. While Stripe is renowned for industry-leading payment protection, we are expanding our focus to provide a comprehensive security telemetry platform that helps businesses protect their entire digital ecosystem on Stripe.

As a founding member of this team, you'll architect a large-scale customer-facing security data pipeline and presentation layer. Much like modern security observability platforms and data lakes that have transformed cloud infrastructure, we're building an API-first service that transforms massive streams of behavioral data into actionable security intelligence. This team operates at the intersection of high-throughput data engineering and cybersecurity, creating the systems that will allow the world’s most sophisticated companies to monitor, detect, and respond to threats in real time.

What You’Ll Do

As a Senior Software Engineer on this founding team, you'll lead the technical design and implementation of our core security data pipelines. You'll define how we capture security signals, process them at scale, and deliver them to our users through robust, developer-friendly interfaces. If you have security domain knowledge, you'll have opportunities to help shape product vision.

Responsibilities

Architect scalable foundations. Design and implement a highly available, low-latency pipeline capable of processing and augmenting millions of events per second into structured security telemetry. Build API-first products.

Develop the core services and streaming APIs that enable enterprise customers to seamlessly ingest security signals into their own internal security operations centers and analytics tools. Engineer security signals. Partner with security researchers and threat detection experts to build the logic that identifies anomalous behavior and surfaces high-fidelity security insights.

Define technical strategy. Lead the technical roadmap for the platform, making critical decisions on data modeling, storage strategies, and the abstraction layers that will support future security products. Drive engineering excellence.

99%+ availability. Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with the Stripe core platform and data teams to leverage global infrastructure while ensuring security data remains isolated and protected.
