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
Our team owns open-source SDKs that reflect the Stripe API in seven different programming languages. A vast majority of server-side Stripe integrations are built using our open-source SDKs. Our team also owns an in-house code generation framework, which we use to generate not just the SDKs, but the code snippets in our documentation and the commands in Stripe Shell, which is an in-browser version of the Stripe CLI.
We are dedicated to providing a world-class experience for developers using our SDKs. We influence how Stripe authors and releases APIs so that SDKs and documentation represent them in a user-friendly way. We want to collaborate with and help our friends in the Stripe community who build and maintain SDKs in programming languages that we don't support.
What you’ll do
In this role, you'll have an opportunity to shape the experience of developers using Stripe SDKs that power over 80% of the payment volume at Stripe.
- Be the Golang expert on the team, representing the needs of the Golang community and ensuring we build experiences that are idiomatic
- Use your Node.js expertise to improve our code generation framework and work toward a future where we open source it to make it easier for third-party Stripe SDK owners to maintain their libraries
- Collaborate with various Stripe teams to release their APIs in the SDKs and improve the efficiency of the release process
- Help streamline the API authoring process at Stripe
- Support our users reaching out to us on the open-source GitHub repositories for our SDKs
- Add support for new language features in SDKs
- Help lead the API design process at Stripe, providing guidance to product teams as they seek to produce powerful and intuitive abstractions that surface through our SDKs
- Collaborate, mentor, and provide support to other team members
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
- 6+ years in engineering across a wide range of products
- 3+ years of experience as a Golang software engineer
- An interest in working with multiple programming languages
- A passion for API design and developer experience
- Experience in PHP and Ruby
- Experience building libraries and/or SDKs
- Knowledge of Open API spec and protobuf
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.
