About the team
Developer & End-user Experience Platform (DEeP) is a force multiplier for Stripe and for your career. We own the product platform that connects Stripe to users: the massively scaled dashboard and mobile app for merchants, enterprise-grade identity & access management, industry-leading APIs, innovative developer tools, and cutting-edge AI experiences. We uphold Stripe's commitment to craft and beauty. The improvements we deliver have a compounding effect across every user's experience and the entire company. For new grads, DEeP provides an unparalleled opportunity to accelerate your career while you accelerate the success of our users.
What you’ll do
As a company, we believe in end-to-end ownership of projects. For any given project, we have one person on point. While they don't necessarily have to do all the work themselves, it's their job to make sure all the work gets done. We launch betas and prototypes as early as we can. This helps ensure that we're building what users actually want. We contribute back to the community, often by building things we think are cool and by releasing open-source software.
Responsibilities
- Work on cross-functional projects, directly collaborating with other engineers
- Give meaningful feedback on code reviews and technical designs
- Ensure that the systems your team operates continue running well and can scale to meet the needs of our users
- Build the skills to own a project from beginning to end, learning project management and technical leadership skills
