About Stripe

About The Team

Stripe Data Pipeline—The Stripe Data Pipeline (SDP) team owns a critical product that delivers all of a merchant's Stripe data directly into their data warehouse. We serve major technology companies and Fortune 100 enterprises, delivering petabytes of data daily with high reliability, low latency, and strong correctness guarantees. SDP is marching towards 99.99% availability and near real-time data freshness across multiple warehouse platforms. Merchants depend on this data for their own billing, reconciliation and analytics, and the quality of what we deliver has immediate, visible impact. The systems are distributed, multi-tenant, and operate under strict SLAs. You will work on hard problems at the intersection of data infrastructure, merchant-facing product, and operational excellence.

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
