About this role
Stripe's Online Database Infrastructure team is looking for a Software Engineer to help build and scale the database systems that power payments for millions of businesses globally. You'd own the full lifecycle of infrastructure solutions—from design through deployment—making deliberate tradeoffs between reliability, speed, cost, and engineering efficiency. The work spans improving system resiliency and performance at scale, building tools that make developers' lives easier, and continuously raising the bar on code quality and processes.
This role requires a solid foundation: a CS degree or equivalent plus five years of post-degree software development experience. You'll need demonstrated expertise across distributed systems, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI, or GCP), and at least one of Ruby, Go, Python, or Java. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience scaling complex systems, identifying optimization opportunities, and building infrastructure that serves real user needs. You should be comfortable breaking down large problems, making data-driven decisions, and working collaboratively within a strong engineering team.
The position is based in Seattle and requires in-office presence, though 50% telecommuting is permitted. Stripe offers a competitive salary range of $206,086 to $285,600 annually, plus equity, bonuses, 401(k), comprehensive health benefits, and wellness stipends.
