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

Stripe Terminal helps our users extend their online presence to the physical world. The Terminal team’s mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has done for online payments. Stripe was founded to make it easier for developers to accept payments. We’ve solved a small part of that problem, but our ambition is to go much further.

What you’ll do

As an engineer in the Terminal Foundations team, you will develop infrastructure, APIs and toolings for Stripe internal and external users to reliably communicate, authenticate, and observe devices around the world. Our team builds the underlying frameworks that enable Stripe and its users to secure and scale their in-person experience.

Responsibilities

Design, build and maintain systems that support users to efficiently and effectively communicate, authenticate, and observe devices
Develop APIs and toolings to facilitate interactions with devices and users
Debug and solve critical production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
Work with engineers, product managers, designers, and stakeholders across the company to bring new features and products to Stripe’s Terminal users
Collaborate effectively in a distributed and hybrid team, maintaining open communication and strong connections with colleagues

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

2+ years of software engineering experience
Are able to write high quality code in a programming language (e.g., Java, Ruby and others)
Understand good practices of building and working with APIs
Can debug complex problems in a distributed system
Enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different areas of expertise. Engineering works closely with a variety of teams: design, product management and Ops team

Preferred qualifications

Prior knowledge in the financial technology space, particularly in payment processing is a plus.

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is C$134,400 - C$201,600. This range may change if you are hired in another location. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.
