About the team
The Payments organization focuses on developing products and platforms that enable users to accept payments from customers efficiently.

The Risk Engineering organization develops products that minimize financial and regulatory risks while ensuring a seamless user experience, thereby safeguarding Stripe's brand and financial stability.
The Premium Merchant Experiences team helps businesses using Stripe succeed by providing high-quality, contextual, and timely premium support options. Our Dublin-based team is a startup within Stripe, building a greenfield product—offering both automated, AI-driven support and improved access to technical experts across Stripe.
The Payments Intelligence team is dedicated to simplifying and scaling online payments for merchants. Our primary objective is to maximize payment performance by optimizing conversion rates, minimizing costs, and managing fraud, regardless of whether a merchant processes payments via Stripe. We are responsible for developing products such as Radar, Authorization Boost and Authentication, focusing on the creation of high-performance services and seamless user experiences.

About this role
Stripe's Payments and Risk organization in Dublin is building core infrastructure that shapes how millions of businesses accept payments and manage financial risk globally. This role sits within a newly formed Dublin-based team operating as a startup within Stripe, working on greenfield products across several high-impact areas: premium merchant support combining AI and human expertise, risk decision-making at scale to distinguish legitimate businesses from bad actors, and payments intelligence systems that optimize conversion and manage fraud. You'd be solving some of Stripe's hardest technical problems while directly influencing the company's financial stability and user experience.
The work spans the full stack—you'll own problems end-to-end, from designing elegant APIs and user experiences that let merchants scale their businesses, to writing custom analysis queries, to contributing to the architecture of Stripe's next-generation infrastructure. You'll collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and product managers, and the role expects you to move fluidly between different codebases, languages, and technologies as a generalist problem-solver. This is high-autonomy work; you'll need to think entrepreneurially and take ownership across workstreams.
You should have at least two years of professional software engineering experience and strong fundamentals: comfortable coding in any language, able to ship both user-facing features and backend systems, and skilled at working across teams. Experience in high-growth environments, financial systems, or fintech is valuable but not required. The position is in-office in Dublin, and exact team placement will be determined during final interview stages.
