## Job description

## Who we are

## About Stripe

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

The Product Security Data Platforms team is a newly established engineering team within Stripe Security. Our mission is to build the foundational infrastructure that provides our users with unprecedented visibility into the security posture of their Stripe integration. While Stripe is renowned for industry-leading payment protection, we are expanding our focus to provide a comprehensive security telemetry platform that helps businesses protect their entire digital ecosystem on Stripe.

You'll contribute to a large-scale customer-facing security data pipeline and presentation layer. Much like modern security observability platforms and data lakes that have transformed cloud infrastructure, we're building an API-first service that transforms massive streams of behavioral data into actionable security intelligence. This team operates at the intersection of high-throughput data engineering and cybersecurity, creating the systems that will allow the world's most sophisticated companies to monitor, detect, and respond to threats in real time.

## What you’ll do

As a Software Engineer on this founding team, you'll contribute to the technical design and implementation of our core security data pipelines. You'll help build the systems that capture security signals, process them at scale, and deliver them to users through robust, developer-friendly interfaces. This is an opportunity to grow quickly, make a meaningful impact from day one, and help shape a product that directly improves security outcomes for businesses worldwide.

## Responsibilities

- Build scalable foundations. Implement components of a highly available, low-latency pipeline capable of processing and augmenting millions of events per second into structured security telemetry
- Build API-first products. Develop core services and streaming APIs that enable enterprise customers to ingest security signals into their internal security operations centers and analytics tools
- Engineer security signals. Partner with security researchers and threat detection experts to build logic that identifies anomalous behavior and surfaces high-fidelity security insights
- Contribute to technical design. Participate in discussions on data modeling, storage strategies, and the abstraction layers that will support future security products
- Raise the bar for quality. Write clean, well-tested code and contribute to a culture of code quality, system resilience, and operational maturity for a product that requires 99.99%+ availability
- Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with Stripe's core platform and data teams to leverage global infrastructure while ensuring security data remains isolated and protected

## 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 professional software development experience, with a history of shipping and maintaining complex, large-scale systems
- Expertise in data engineering and distributed systems, with deep experience building and operating high-throughput data pipelines (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Spark, or similar streaming technologies)
- Strong programming fundamentals, significant experience in languages like Java, C++, or Rust
- Operational mindset, experience maintaining business-critical services with high availability requirements, on-call rotation, and a strong focus on observability and debugging
- Communication and collaboration skills, excellent technical writing skills for drafting design documents and the ability to mentor other engineers while collaborating with non-technical stakeholders

## Preferred qualifications

- Experience with or interest in security analytics, threat detection systems, or observability platforms
- Experience building infrastructure or services used by other engineers or external developers
- Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure tools such as AWS, Kubernetes, or Terraform
- Product intuition and a desire to work on "0-to-1" initiatives where you help define requirements and user experience alongside engineering
- Front-end or full-stack experience, particularly with React or TypeScript
