Stripe s infrastructure powers businesses all over the world. We process

Stripe within Infrastructure build the systems that power all of our
products, globally and at scale.
Our users trust us with their businesses and livelihoods, and every

Stripe has thousands of engineers working across many different product
areas. The Service Operations team works with engineers to build tools
and solutions to accelerate the development and operations of their

This particular role seeks a senior engineer focused on the user

tooling. If you re someone who has worked on a product team before and
been interested in infrastructure, or you re someone who has previously
led internal developer tooling teams, you just might be a great match
for this position!
Responsibilities
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.
We re looking for people with a strong background (or interest!) in
building tools and solutions to make engineers more effective. We d love
to hear from you whether you re a seasoned productivity engineer, or
whether you ve just learned you like building for other engineers. Many

happy to talk to you about the possibility of working remotely.
