About the team

• Application and Revenue Platform—We build the powerful and scalable infrastructure that powers the company's innovative application offerings and supports the seamless processing and management of Stripe's global transaction volumes.

• Finance Systems—Our mission is to enable effective financial decisions through reliable data, increased efficiency, and automation. We support Accounting, Tax, Finance & Strategy (F&S), Finance Operations (FinOps), and Treasury functions across Automation, Data insights, and process improvements.

• Service Platform—We enable engineering teams at Stripe to easily write and ship useful services that correctly, reliably, and efficiently leverage platform capabilities.
